Hope you have better luck than me. I have the Focus 40, but not the Blue, and shortly after the warranty expired cells started going bad. I have had good service from my APH RefreshaBraille 18, but it is only 18 cells.

It will be delivered tomorrow.

I'm not a mod or anything, just saying. As of late, here in the US, I have found Humanware's tech support to be much less than stellar. The Brailliant BI is a nice display, and the one added perk you get with it is that you don't need to enter an authentication code when first pairing with your iDevice, but I personally don't enjoy the keyboard on this display. This is why others on list are saying it's about personal preference. If you buy one now, in the US at least, a 32 cell model will cost you just over 2 grand if you order online. This is because Humanware is doing a 20% sale on everything ordered online for the next few days. I've worked with people, like myself, who prefer the keys on the perkins style keyboard closer together, and I've worked with people who like them further apart. Another thing to consider is what you want out of the display: Portability? Notetaking functions independent of the device your paired to? Amount of cells? A price range?
