Hi Karl,
I've heard a lot of good things about it, hence the reason I thought I'd
give it a go. But as far as I'm concerned, it's nothing but a strenuous
tedious ballache. It took me over five minutes to dial a phone number, and I
didn't even know how to access anything on it, so I dread to think what I'd
be like with gaming. It just seemed like a total waste of time and money.
And that's why now I wouldn't touch a touch screen device with a bargepole.
As for Nokia now choosing Windows, that actually seems better, since there's
a whole lot of games already out for Windows. Don't know how accessible
it'll be, I suppose it depends how good current screenreaders support it.
Though again if it's anything like or complex than Vista, I think I'll give
it a miss. Probably just use it for phone calls and gaming.
Regards,
Damien.

I must agree with the others here that the iPhone is an awesome device. As
regards games for Symbian, nokia has abandoned it for Windows phone 7, so
Symbian is effectively dead as far as I know. For this reason I don't think
anything new will be produced for it.

completely agreed Brian.
at first i thought "me? use an iphone? never."
however i've had this one since august 2011 minus a couple months due
to a problem with the phone and i don't know how i'd ever go back now.
its just so simple in ways i cant really describe.
back on topic, I believe that ios will be a great place for accessible
gaming, look at the nightjar for example and that's just a start.
imagine where we could be in a couple of years?

Hi Thomas,
Well, if there are going to be games for the mobile market, I'd love to
see
some for Nokia devices running Simbian. More and more games are coming
out
for IOS devices and it'd be nice to see some for devices that are more
accessible.
Sure, Apple try and do the voiceover app, but when I tried an IPhone it
was
pointless and useless since the interface was purely all touch screen.
How
other blind people manage with it is beyond me and goes straight over my
head.
I tried it for two weeks before I got impatient with it so I went back
to
the lovely button operated Nokia and Talks setup again.
I'd support Simbian myself, but looks like it's a trek down C++ lane,
which
doesn't sound appealing.
Regards,
Damien.
