Well it's the same over here in Sweden. I was at an assistive technology show last monday and showed the phone to a vendor and some blind folks here and the response was basically that yes, the phone has speech, but blind people shouldn't use touch screens at all and it was just an interface for design and the fact that people switched was because it was new and blind people shall use buttons and not anything else, and why would people want a device this big? and the like. Sometimes i wonder why i bother talking about the hottest thing in accessibility in a long time when people just consider me a non- representative nerd. I can't help thinking well, let them have their bloatware, at least i have seen the light... but it's probably wrong to think like that. /Krister
