Hi,
I agree with you, Alex.
I love my BT model of the Apex. I don't use it with the iPhone,
but I love it just the same.

Speaking from my own experience, I have had no problems with my
bt. I
understand that the bt is hw's primary machine, but I find it
disheartening and completely unacceptable that they would offer
such
low quality for the qt models. It is not only Sabahatin's
unfortunate
experience, but how long has hw known about the problems that
make the
qt completely useless as a braille display (at least with iOS)?
For Sabahatin, I recommend that you just keep using your iPhone.
I
used my iPod and a keyboard on a trip of several days back in
June and
was surprisingly happy with it. I just converted a few bookshare
books
to the iBooks format, loaded them on there, and was all set. You
may
also want to look into a braille display for the iPhone, like the
$1,000 Braille Pen (12 cells). I am not sure if you can use a
keyboard
and display at the same time, since you prefer qwerty to braille.
Do
you know about the aiphone and viphone lists?

Just a question. Have you found the BT similarly unusable?
Because I got one last month and have been quite enjoying it.

After a long period of non-use, the Apex QT 32 finally gets some
use. So I plug it in, reset after a flat battery, charge up as
usual, and prep it for a long trip I know I'll need it for.
And then what happens? Of course, when I switch it on on the
bus, I find the QT keyboard part non-functional, making it
necessary for me to try all the resets, finishing with a full
erase. The Apex is taken out of its case and rubbed down and
all
the buttons pushed in case there's anything stuck, but alas!
The
QT is now completely unusable, lacking as it does the arrow
keys,
escape, everything on the top row except equals and the left
read
key.
At this point I'm about ready to declare the Apex QT a failure.
I'll be doing the exchange as soon as I get back. This message
is brought to you courtesy of my bluetooth keyboard and iPhone.
A surprisingly functional combination, too! Meanwhile, my
advice
to potential Apex QT users and buyers: hold off until HumanWare
pull their fingers out. This product is not ready for sale.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
