SMAs ar cheaper, but they only cover software upgrades.

It's a good idea to get the hardware contract, if possible, because then repairs don't cost anything but shipping., at least, that's what it's been in my experience.

I wonder if there's been a misunderstanding. HW charges $500 for a hardware service contract, to be used in the event that your BN needs to be repaired. As far as I know, the SMA is still somewhat cheaper.

I am not into company bashing. That just isn't my style. I was just
appalled on Friday when I called and inquired about ordering either
the braille manual or an SMA. I thought it would be like FS' SMA,
around $150 or $200. I thought I could make a choice which one I
wanted--the braille manual or the SMA. When I heard $500, I was like,
"Wow." That's all. I really don't have any more to say about it. I
think the BrailleNote is a great product, and I'm very happy to have
it.
Take care,
Sharonda

Hi Brian and others;
HW does not have a payment plan, but I am almost sure they will take a
credit card.  This way, you can pay it off at your own pace.

Hi Sharonda:

Far as I know, Humanware does not offer payment plans for their
products including SMAs.

Not sure how much time and effort would go into keeping track of
advance payments, both of which cost a firm wage expenses, but
this would be an interesting idea to run by Jonathan Mosen.

Now that Jonathan is back in New Zealand, I'm not sure if he is
still the marketing manager with Humanware or not.

Haven't heard he isn't, so presume he still is.

Take care.

Brian
