[humanser] keeping time in session

[James Brown]

Hi Quinto,

I have a nokia 6650.  I can set my alarm in less than 20 seconds using
mobile speak.  It works comparably to jaws for a PC.  I wish every blind
person could have a cell phone they could fully use.  You just can't know
how convenient it can make things until you have used it for a while.  

It is almost like having a small computer in your pocket.  I believe Rachel
Jacobs is selling one that she offered on this list a couple of days ago.
It is a quality, never before used phone, with the knfb reader.  If you
purchase screen reader software like talks or mobile speaks for a couple
more hundred.  You would almost have the top of the line blind scanning and
phone technology.      

Best luck
James

Mary I think that would be the best for me as well. I've looked for watches 
that vibrate online and there are various with different functions but, I 
don't know which one would be accessible for a blind person to set. If I 
recall the one I was looking at was a "watchminder" with the capability of 
setting multiple alarms. Does anyone else use something similar? I've 
thought about using a phone as one of you all stated but, what phone would 
you all recommend that is easily accessible to set the alarm?
