Rhonda, ************************ The Mobile Phone Organizer (MPO) is a compact, easy to carry all-in-one device for mobile situations. Use the MPO to make phone calls, send SMS messages, look up information and take notes. Enjoy today's wireless communication, information and entertainment services at home, or on the road. The MPO operates for about one day on rechargeable batteries (depending on functionality and output medium), and can be linked to a PC to exchange data. For the visually impaired user all functions including menus, contact information, SMS messages, services, and system information are made accessible in braille and speech. To enter information, the MPO 5500 offers an 8-key braille keyboard. Alternatively there is the MPO 3500 with speech-only output and a regular QWERTY keyboard.
