Hello Russell and all: The following is a statement for comparison purposes only ... so there is no need to make this portion of the discussion last too long (smile).
I am thrilled to hear that your experience is a positive one. That feeling of being able to accomplish something you enjoy for the first time is amazing. I could never get the nokia 6620 using Mobile Speak to work well on reading newspapers either. However, that ability was much improved in the Nokia 6650 (symbian 60 version 9.3). I personally prefer the Iphone's capability and approach ... though if there are any hold outs who truly do not want or do not care about the iphone and whom wish to read newspapers ... take heart ... the symbian 50 version 9.x generation will not leave you in the dust ...
