Not with the symbian phones. You still have to buy another license.
May, I'm ready for the stress to end. Off to Edmonton on the 25th.

Just want to set the record straight. Not that I care about Mobile SPeak, but
you no longer have to pay a transfer fee. You can move the license from one
phone to another via the setup program.

Hello Simon and all:
One question you might want to consider is the issue of expandability. I am
a user of a nokia 6650 with Mobile Speak and I love it. However, the number of
applications that will work with it is not as robust as the Iphone. Second,
while both my Mobile Speak and voiceover upgrades are free, the method of
upgrading is quite different. I do not know about talks because I have never
used it. However, if it is anything like Mobile Speak I cannot upgrade it
independently. The only reason I make a point of this is the ability of being
able to keep up with the latest updates to a system rather than being one step
behind. Furthermore, does it make sense to have to pay a transfer cost if you
either lose your phone or decide you want or need a new one. In the case of
Mobile Speak, if you change phones for whatever reason there is a transfer
cost. I do not know how it works with Talks. If I want another Iphone I just
get another Iphone without incurring any additional costs for things beyond my
control which may have resulted in the phone's loss or just for the freedom of
wanting something different.
There are a few more reasons I can mention though I will point out only one
more ... with this arrangement of the Iphone and AT&T, the entire customer
service flow is for the first time under one roof. If I have a problem with the
Iphone I am able to take it to AT&T and they can be of assistance without
necessarily farming it out to someone else and if they do farm it out to
someone else ... that would be Apple and they would know that I am on the way
(smile). With Mobile Speak it could be a mobile speak issue which I would have
to go to Code Factory, it could be a phone problem where Nokia would have to be
called in, it could be a billing problem where the Phone company would have to
be tapped and, if I had a problem with the actual purchase of Mobile Speak and
I did not purchase it from Code Factory I then would have to deal with AT&T's
office of national disability concerns which is a completely separate operation
from AT&T. I like the one umbrella that the Iphone has the potential to
provide. I have both and love both and see the advantages to each.
Just my two cents contributed to the discussion. No matter what your final
conclusion, it will be a good one.
Take good care.

Yeah, I had a sit down and play with the I phone for about an hour today
and
I gotta admit, the biggest problem is familiarity.
I'm so use to the Nokia and talks interface that the IPhones system is not
as efficient yet as I would have hoped.
However I gotta admit that I am thinking of reasons why I shouldn't change
to one at this point, and the only reason so far is that my n82 does
everything that the iphone does and that I need it to.

Honestly given what I have heard/read, because this interface is so
very different from what we have grown accustomed to, it's probably
tough to get fixed on it right away. it's probably a let's forget
about the old wisdom or at least set it aside while looking in to this
and start from the ground. So, in a nutshell this is more like a slow
growth to understanding product rather than something that can be
quickly affixed.

Hi folks,
Just wondering how many of you that are now using the Ipone 3gs, are
totally blind rather than the partially / Visually impaired users.
The device to me sounds more like it's for a VI person than a
totally blind
person.
I'm total and I'm trying to compare this for useage / accessibility
against
my Nokia s60 device.
And as I've only had a very quick play with the IPhone 3gs I can't
say I'm
fixed on it yet.
And I'm keen to hear how the totally blind users are getting on with
it.
Cheers
Simonf.
Take good care and I wish you enough.
Love
Me
