Jose, If you own your own home and property, you might be able to use it for raising some of your money. I think having the BN and a Mobile Speak equipped phone is ideal! You would have the best of many worlds.

I'd like to know how people who have M-powers and Mobile Speak Pocket feel about using them together.. I recently bought a Cingular 8525 and am testing MSP on it. So far, I love it! The next step of course, is to get a braille display. So I have two choices. I can either get this braille note I have transplanted for $2500 max, or I can buy an independent display, most likely for more. I'm having trouble deciding which one to go with. Obviously, transplanting the braille note will give me more cells for far less money. But then what about the onboard apps in the BN? They'd kind of go to waste. I'm also speculating here, but I don't suppose Keysoft 7.2 can support Pocket Word .pwi files, or can it? Maybe in Keysoft 8 or later, but that means more money. The independent display seems to make more sense to me. But I like the idea of a display/braille keyboard for both input and output. Unfortunately, the other choices are between $3700 to $6000. I won't accept anything under 32 cells. I like the idea of the braillino, but 20 cells for $4200? Come on! The BN 18 at least gives you a more well-rounded note taking solution for about the same price. The brailliant from HW is supported of course, But I asked tech support and they told me that it doesn't have a keyboard. I digress. For those who already have an M-power and MSP, how do you use the M-power in conjunction with your PDA. For example, Vicky Collins. You have the 8125. Do you still use any of the BN's notetaking apps, or do you use it exclusively in terminal mode? Ultimately, I'm taking my time with this decision, because then i gotta find a way to raise the money. So any advice you guys can give me is well appreciated. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
