[blindlaw] Purchasing A KNFB Reader Mobile?

[Rod Alcidonis]

Well, I invite folks to visit the Humanware website, and they do not need a
contract to get the Mobile Speak for $195. The $295 is how much I paid when
I purchased it years ago. Mobile Speak has multiple distributors, and it
seems like they all set the price however they want to. I don't know much
about the KNFBReader to comment.

The humanware website is:
www.humanware.com

The info is right on the home page.
This price saves a blind person $100.

KNFB Reading is a separate company.  The NFB itself is a "national 
dealer" for the KNFB Reader Mobile.  The normal list price for Talks, 
or Mobile Speak is $295.  There are some phone companies that sell 
stripped down versions for less, but you have to get your phone, and 
a multi-year contract from them at the same time to get the lesser price.

There is a second phone that the KNFB Reader Mobile software works 
with now -- it is the Nokia 6220 Classic.
