Hello,
It is not always Humanware's fault that the braillenote cannot
download e-mail from a hotel or airport.
I travel quite a bit, and have found, that many airports and
hotels, want you to pay for their service. If you pay for a 2
hour block or some places will give it to you for 24 hours, then
you would have access.
I noticed, that in some places, if I had a ethernet connection, I
could download for free, but to use my wireless connection, it
would have cost $12 a day.
Hth,
Robert

Hi all, have experienced similar problems.
Has anyone taken this up with Humanware? If so, what was their
response.
I don't mind paying for features provided they work properly and
is
not just a gimmick like the FM radio.
Best regards
Deon

I find your and sammy's observations about not being able to
access e-mail in hotels interesting. I stayed at the Lax airport
Marriot last March when attending csun and couldn't get any
e-mail. Only last night I wrote the list saying that it was my
sandisk card which was doing it, I guess not. I am glad to know
that I am not alone with this lack of e-mail problem.

Sammy,
You said that you were late in responding to some messages
because you were
traveling and could not get on E-mail in some hotels. I was also
away for
the weekend and chose to unsubscribe from the list because I did
not want to
come back to the tornado of several hundred messages from this
list alone;
and I am on multiple lists.
With regard to the hotel issue, I agree that it is an issue which
needs to
be fixed and I hope it is soon. There has to be a way to work
with the
security of some of these systems. Could the current function
key on a
qwerty keyboard be made an alt key and the go to main menu key be
made into
the function key? I do not know about other users; but I do not
use the go
to main menu key at all. This is just a question of curiosity
and I do not
know how a BT key board would be handled for this issue.
Take care.
