I dont quite agree with you Manoj on 2 issues. 1. I think there is a phone for the visually challenged. The model number is "Nokia communicator 9290" atleast thats what I have saved from an email received on accessindia. I havent checked this.
2. Also I would rather that everything became accessable than have one special thing for myself. I want to have a choice. I like the way screen readers work with ordinary computers. We need to integrate at all levels. Several Nokia models work with Talks and Mobilespeak therefore we have a choice. Choice is important on price, looks and features. Currently I have a phone that hardly any one has but I love its looks and feel. It would be nice to write to other mobile phone manufacturers to make their phones accessable and useable with screen readers. I personally dont like Nokia phones so I would be very happy if any other phone maker would have fully accessable phones. So at present I am stuck with Nokia. I have seen some other phones which have some voice features foreg. these read out the missed calls. I wish they were fully useable but alas at present they are not. So Manoj when there is "accessability" possible with "integration" and "universality" please dont ask for "isolation" and "special". your intentions are good and I am sure many will support your email but just for a minute think of what I have just written.
