Hi Stephen.
About time, I'd be interested to hear this being evaluated, especially as the
screen reader is going to be free on the models mentioned.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I thought some of you would like to see this being it is about black barry
phones and the screen reader for them.

accessibility and for offering the new BlackBerry Screen Readerfor their
customers. We encourage Oratio for BlackBerry customers to contact RIM to
learn more about the BlackBerry Screen Reader," said Lucia Gomez, group
brand manager at HumanWare.
