Hi Eleanor, Thanks for this information which is extremely helpful. No, I won't go down the External speaker route as I want to carry less things with me and not more!!!!.

Mauric The loudspeaker and ear speaker button on-screen will be hit and miss until you get used to it. a sighted person or even one like myself with a little vision can directly hit the button. However, Denise and Allan may have additional support for you there. As for volume, 10 is the maximum and yes the volume is not great in loud environmental noise. However, when on a call and if not using the external speaker have you tried increasing the volume using the volume up key on the side? Finally you want to know a little more about the keys on the bottom row. On the extreme left on the bottom row is the function key which when hit once will give you a number when in a text message or e-mail. If you want a string of numbers as in a telephone number, then you can hit the key twice write your number string and then hit twice again to return to text. Next to the Function key and one in on the right is the Edit key. This key is the Caps and caps lock key. Hit it once for an initial capital letter and again hit twice if you want caps lock. To remove the caps lock hit it twice. Next in we have the Talks key and as I said pressing it twice will bring up the symbols keys for you, in other words the characters. Once the symbols have been brought up you can press the soft key 2 on screen and this will bring up emoticons. Unfortunately these are not recognised by Talks so unless you want to use these forget about them as you cannot use the Talks object viewer to label them either. A sighted person can assist you with them however but if someone responds with a similar emoticon, Talks will not recognise it. Now we move over to the right of the space-bar. The first key is the @ sign useful when writing an e-mail address and not having to go in to the symbols window to select the @ sign. Next we have the ? mark and finally there is a silent key. I do not know what it does - sorry!!! The @ key when used in conjunction with the Edit key will produce a forward / and the ? mark key when used with the Edit key will give you an ! mark. Do remember that you can find out all about keys by using the Talks Training Mode which is Talks key and Zero. This is a toggle key. Just an after-thought, if external speaker is important to you then you might give some thought to a very small external speaker which you could plug in to the headphone socket.
