BSNL's speeds are not that great according to people using it already. It is announced in Bangalore that BSNL would give the 3G sim card for free for those who have their landline connections. The private players are supposed to roll out their services by September.

There is also Vlingo which is not that accurate. With all these tools though, the voice recognition actually happens on the server side. So, you need a decent data connection to make any realistic use of them. Same goes for Google Voice on Android. Any idea when the 3G networks will be up and running in India? I heard BSNL/MTNL already have 3G in some cities. Anyone used it?

The first difficulty is locating the keys. The order in which the letters are located isn't very clear and lack of a tactile key is definitely making learning slower. However, do you think it would take long for someone to learn it?

You can access almost everything with voiceover on 3gs. There could be some difficulties until you get used to the touch screen interface, but that's about it. As I mentioned before, typing could be a bit slow, but it should be possible to input short messages with the touch screen interface. Much like other screen readers, there is an in-build help is available to learn the screen navigation with voiceover. Vetri.
