[Electronics-talk] [EXTERNAL] knfb reader app?

[Baracco, Andrew W]

The newer Nokia phones run a later version of Windows mobile that does
not support the reader. The phones that are capable of running the
reader have been out of production for several years. Also, the OS that
they use has also been retired. You can probably find the phones on Ebay
just like you can find used cars, etc.

I didn't even know you could still get nokia phones. I was forced to
move to an Iphone when my n95 finally died. But, the only reason I went
for the Iphone is because I have a Iphone case with a built in bluetooth
keyboard. It just fits around the phone like a regular case but has a
slide out keyboard on the bottom. So it gives me the best of both
worlds. But if I didn't have the hardware keyboard, I would not have the
Iphone because I am much slower at texting with the touch screen than I
am with a phisical keyboard or keypad that was on the nokia. I will have
to read up on that new blackberry phone but I probably wont be changing
from the Iphone now any time soon since I have a phisical keyboard. I
would like to take a look at phones that already have a keyboard built
in just to see how useable they are.
