Well, that is certainly an option although I don't know if it's a really good one for a person whose totally deaf and blind. I was hoping that the cellphone could be hooked up to the pk in some way and one could use the PK's display to read the menus. maybe that'll be an option in a future upgrade? that would be most helpful. then I could setup my cellphone myself instead of calling someone to come by for that. I won't have to worry about letting the battery run down and lose my settings. I am hoping they can set this up so that the PK's display can be used to read the cellphone's menus! Isaac
