Hello BrailleNote list, Thank you to John Patrick Houck for providing the price of the Apex 18 cell at $4395 USD. The reason we do not include pricing in press releases is because the price will vary depending on the country in which the product is purchased, since the currency for that country and exchange rates varies from the US. In addition, we have distributors in other parts of the world, such as in South America or Asia, where there is often an import surcharge tax. We wish it was more simple!
As for trade ins, this will depend on the model, date of the unit and its condition. It must be a working unit as we want to be very fair to those that have kept their product in good working condition and current. We currently accept Classic BrailleNote and VoiceNotes, all mPower models and the BrailleNote PK. Best to contact the sales organization within your appropriate country. For the US, you can call 800-722-3393 or email us at [email protected] Thank you everyone and for those with a new Apex - enjoy! ________________________________ Dominic Gagliano Vice President Blindness Sales HumanWare US [email protected] .........................................................................................................................................................................

This is not the Duo model, but the classic model - this one is old enough to still be a "TSI" model! All of the searching I have done has only turned up documentation for the Duo model. I am not familiar with the switches and commands on this, so I am looking for some documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for proving us that you are listching to us (especially those who are in need of cheap version of the Apex 32). Just two questions: 1. What would be the trade-in price from previout BrailleNote models to BrailleNote Apex 18? 2. It is possible for some of us who are using 32-cell version to downgrade to 18-cell and what would be the price? Thanks again for this wonderful news. Cheers, Joseph S.
