Hello, very interesting thanks! I will join the viphone group sinc eI dont want to clutter this with stuff that is covered somewhere else. But, even if the vo says something when you are on a cetain spot of the touchscreen (menu bar for example) isnt it difficult to GET there? I mean I do not think there are any tactile orientation facilities so you still have to find the actual right spot on the touchscreen to access the buttons or whatever.

Hi, VoiceOver uses the Touchscreen with an impresive new blindness technolgoy. You can read about it more at the Google group VIPhone, which is for this phone and is for the blind and run by the same people as this group. http://groups.google.com/group/VIPhone/ [email protected] The phone uses touch screen gestures as well as the touch screen's ability to use a finger to float over buttons and have them read. I really enjoy the phone. Every time I use one I am amazed at the ease of use.

I know the new model has built-in voicover but it still uses a touchscreen (not even just a scrollwheel with some buttons, I know that that can work from my 5.5g imod and rockbox experience but a full touch screen) so I was rather sceptical. I know there is some kind of voice recognition software inside but how far will that get you and how good isit? I once heard it on an old nokia and was NOT impressed. I am very interested in this iphone sinc eI can get a new phone in october, havebeen using the nokia 5`19 classic with talks. Talks does not support too many applications though. My brother will probbably get this phone in a few months too (he is sighted though) and sinc eI am an audiophile it is good to know that according to a few of my head-fi acquaintances the sound quality is very good too.
