Hi! After following all replys, I could not help myself to drop one of mmy replys as well.
First of all, Mr. Jignesh: "The handset is also equipped with an SOS button, which allows the user to save four emergency numbers. By pressing the SOS button, the call gets automatically directed to the first emergency number." So sir, this indicates that those 4 numbers are stored as emergency numbers and doesn't imply that we can actually save 4 numbers in the phonebook. Secondly, I'm not even sure that it does support basic GPRS browsing, so forget about 3G support, which is not much of an issue if this device does the basic functions like reading messages, contacts etc, it's a good phone at this price, that too a dual sim one. Then, someone mentioned about full voice support which is possible at present in only 5 operating systems: IPhone OS, android, symbion, windows mobile (except windows phone 7 at present) & Black berry OS. All these operating systems are resource hungry and will need decent hardware to run on, which will escalate the price. So, I don't think that this device's voice support can match to those offered by Talks & Mobilespeaks, but I'll be happy if this device can read my messages & phonebook with decent voice synthesizer, which I think is demanding too much out of this device. And, in the news article, I didn't find anything to suggest that Intex associated with NAB for anything to do with this device and that it took some suggestions regarding the same, but, if they have done so, then I believe this device will not be that big a disappointment as is the general feeling right now, as we have smart people sitting up there in NAB which is an association representing us and they can advice soundly regarding the technical requirement for a VI mobile user. Lastly, I always felt these telecomm. companies always lacked somewhere or the other while offering accessibility solutions. Look at Nokia, it has an in-built screenreader, but it's PC suite is half inaccessible, talk about TATA, they say that their website is "accessible to the differently abled", in effect, recognizing the needs of a VI, but their softwares supplied along their data cards are inaccessible. For this, I feel asking to employ VI specifically for testing the accessibility will be too much, but atleast they can include independant organizations workinng in this field for this purpose, which is a practical solution.
