[nabs-l] iphone vs mobile speaks

[Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.]

If anyone decides that Mobile speak is the way to go for them, I am selling 
a Blackjack phone with a 2gb mini sd card, previous version of mobile speak 
and mobile geo for $500.

Upgrading will cost you another 300, but I find this current set up is fine, 
except I am switching to an IPhone.

Please write or call, I am willing to negotiate.
