Sarah, 

I hope that you do receive this response but I do not think that you can 
transfer your talks package no.  You will probably have to buy a new copy of 
talks.  This is becausee the current copy you have is linked to the IMEI number 
of your phone.  You would need to contact a dealer such as NCBI to advise you 
appropriately based on the type of Talks you have.  

Now, the Iphone, that is a different matter.  There is a lot to get use to with 
it and yes you may love it but its something you should really consider and if 
possible have a play with one before you make the jump to purchase it.  Maybe 
read up on it on the net first or ask someone that has one that you know to 
turn on voiceover and let you play with it but you will need to understand how 
to interact with it properly.  

I didn't hear Stuart's interview but all braille displays tend to be a bit on 
the expensive side but I am sure he will be able to come back to you himself or 
someone else that has heard the interview and knows the model you are talking 
about and be able to more advise you than I can.  

Cheers, Nicky.

  Hi all

  Sorry haven't been on line as have been having internet problems which will 
not be sorted for another few days! anyway I have a question to ask as I 
thought you would have the most info on it. 

  I have a Nokia E65 which I got a few years ago.  Its starting to act up a lot 
so am hoping to get new phone for Xmas. Went into Vodafone and the lady told me 
that she thought   I should be able to transfer my talking package to a new 
phone without any extra charge but I am wondering if anyone of you has done 
this or knows if that is actually true as she didn't really seem too sure.  
Also would it be better to switch altogether to an iphone as I know it has been 
getting good feedback from the VICs members and Stuart spoke very highly of it 
on the radio yesterday.

  Stuart also talked about a blue-tooth braille thing called Focus 40 I 
think....does anyone of you know how much it costs??

  Your help would be very much appreciated!

  Sarah Mc
