HI, Scott,
I have both--a BrailleNote BT 32 cell and the Braille Voyager 44. I got the
Voyager 44 first as used. Then, about three years later, I got the
BrailleNote. It depends how and where you want Braille. I love Braille
with the computer since I can track spelling and learn new words that I
wouldn't learn with speech.
I don't do much Internet activity on the BrailleNote, though I could. I
leave all my Email on the main computer, so I use it for that purpose.
Then, it doesn't clutter up the BrailleNote.
I like to proof-read my own work on the computer, and it helps with the
BrailleNote too. Formerly, I used a Braille 'N Speak before having the
BrailleNote. A lot of my addresses and really basic info that a person
would probably keep on a PDA were stored on the Braille 'N Speak. I
recently sent the Braille 'N Speak back because it was having problems. All
files were wiped out and even though I had backed some of them up, the back
up wasn't as recent as I would have liked. That is the great advantage of
the BrailleNote--having a card to back up files. Guess just plain file
cards have their value, also.
If you want Braille with your Navigation, the BrailleNote is great for that
purpose. You may want to get the Voyager then step more gradually into a
GPS solution since things are changing so quickly now. Just some ideas for
consideration.
I really enjoy Braille for Navigation. The commands are pretty
straightforward and it is really a lot of fun to look at the Braile display
while in a car.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] braille display question
This is somewhat off topic. I was originally thinking of going with a BN
or similar to run Sendero's products as well as take care of my braille
I/O needs. (Something I'm learning very rapidly I really need) I've
decided to hold out for Mobile Geo to see if that meets my needs on a
consumer device however, that doesn't address my braille needs. Does
anyone have any comments on the braille voyager line of products,
specifically the braile voyager 44? I have a chance to grab one used at a
nice discount and wanted to see if they were worth the time. I'll take
comments off list as this really isn't GPS related although if folks feel
that the BN / other devices and Sendero are so well integrated I should
just not waste my money I'd take that on list as that seems to be with in
the guidelines. Should I wait for Mobile Geo and use a braille display
only type of device or should I spend considerably more?
Thanks
Scott
