I honestly don't know a lot about Skype phones. Maybe it's because I've managed the highly unusual feat of living without a cell phone for all these years, and I use Skype and a laptop in place of one most of the time. :-)

Subject: [Skypeenglish] Skype is listening! Ok, I've struggled for days, if not weeks, on how to announce this without sounding like it was about me. This is not about me, it's about Skype, the company. I am flying today to Estonia, and to the place where Skype is actually written, to talk to Skype developers in the coming week about how to make Skype accessible. Sometimes, when I see people complain of all the accessibility problems in Skype--and yes, we have some--I wish I could say more about what they really are trying to do for accessibility. So I guess I can't resist, as I sit here waiting for this KLM flight to take off, announcing to this list that Skype, the company, is indeed paying attention to the needs of blind Skypers around the globe. -- Doug Lee dgl at dlee.org http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group doug.lee at ssbbartgroup.com http://www.ssbbartgroup.com Snowmen fall from heaven, unassembled. --anon Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
