Hi All

I stuck my nose out the door today in a rare trip to town.  While there, I had 
a nose at the N82 mobile which is the phone supporting the K-NFB Reader 
software.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the N82 has a large display which occupies quite 
a chunk of the front of the handset.  Below this, in the centre, is a square 
which acts as your four-way joystick with an indentation in the middle for the 
accept key.  To the right of this square is a backspace which is a raised 
button, while the menu button is an indented button to the left of the square.

Below this, the usual keypad is raised, with a slight separation between each 
column.  There is a USB slot on the left-hand side of the phone, while the call 
and end buttons are situated on the left and right edge of the phone.  There is 
a headphone socket near the power button along the top of the unit.

My impression is that I really like the buttons on this handset, but it was 
attached to a bracket on the wall in the shop, so I couldn't do much with it 
other than feel about.  But it gave me enough movement to see it looks quite 
interesting.  The phone is silver, including the buttons, so I don't know what 
sort of a contrast this would make for someone with useful vision.

Hope this is of some help.
