Well Jackie I don't know any more than yourself but do you recall that dreaded Oasis or something or other from RNIB. I nearly bought it as my first phone with speech, thank Heavens I didn't. Maybe someone has decided that blind people again need something basic. I have to say I love the Symbian Nokia phones. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Forgive me, but having read the article via the link Tom posted, is this not 
reinventing the wheel, or have I missed something?  Why have a Smartphone
touch-screen mobile for blind and visually impaired people with specific
apps when you can already access either Apple or Android handsets? Hoping 
someone might clarify the point of having such a phone in addition to what
is already out there.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

My brother in Australia heard a report from England that a new
mobile phone, with lots of bells an whistles, was launched last Thursday in 
London.
Does anybody know anything about it?
Jeff
