[Electronics-talk] T Mobile and accessibility

[Brad Keller]

In most cases, except if you buy it from AT&T, these Nokia phones do not 
come with Mobile Speak on them. Mobile Speak is a seperate, third party 
application that must be purchased from a Mobile Speak dealer. The other 
problem is that unless you can find an unbranded, unlocked Nokia phone that 
has US firmware you will more than likely not be able to access  any signal 
type other than GSM. In most cases this is fine but for those that do a lot 
of browsing or other such things than speeds will be slow.
