Ok, for those who want a cheap mobile phone and aren't too interested in having it talk, rahter they could use some accessability features and good audio, then this phone may be something worth looking at. I should also point out that it may not be available in the U.S. but I'm sure something similar will be. Firstly, this phone is compatible with 3 different network standards, Telstra's Next G, 3G networks and GSM networks so its safe to say that you'll pretty much have the "world in your hands" when it comes to coverage. Next, the phone has very big keys, not terribly raised up because the phone is a "flip" type but raised up enough all the same and certainly, the keys are easily identifiable. I've had this phone for just over a month, I've not read the manual in any way but yet, I'm amazed at the power I've been able to unlock particularly when it comes to audio aspects of the phone. Firstly, I've found that the phone gives off different sounds depending on what's appearing on the display, if the phone is prompting you for something then you'll hear a "Prompt" sound, if you've made an error in entering details then you'll hear a distinct "error" sound or if you your entry is correct or confirmed then you'll hear a distinct "confirmation" or "ok" sound. The speaker phone or "hands-free" facility is the best I've yet seen on a mobile device, just make your call, press the "ok" button and its activated so you can conduct live talkback <smile>
This phone has stereo speakers and yep it can play MP3 files, this is what I'm truly excited about. I've been able to transfer books from my computer using Blue Tooth to the phone, when all files have been received and I've pressed the "OK" button, the files have started playing. This phone has dedicated controls for the MP3 player on the lid so you can easily navigate what you've put onto your memory card, the phone will take up to 2 gig mini SD cards which ain't bad, I've been able to put 5 books on so far and that does me enough for a couple of days. Volue is easily adjusted with up and down buttons on the side of the phone and I've learnt the menu shortcuts which allow me to "delete" all the MP3 files on the memory card so I can "start-over" with the blue tooth transfer once I've finished playing my books. So that's really the "very basic" of MP3 players I suppose and of course, the phone comes with a pair of stereo headphones. I'm quite happy to answer any further questions if I can but if you want any furhter information in the meantime then visit http:// www.lg.com.au ****************************** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone uk 0121 288 4976 Phone/tty (+61 3) 9747 975 Fax +61 3 9743 7954 mobile/sms: +61425 777 508 Skype: callto:grtdane12 msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ****************************** -------------------------------- Join the fight against spam!
