Its worse than that! Have you seen the N8 advert on TV at the moment where you have a blind photographer using said N8 to take a photo of a roller coaster?
As far as I know, there is nothing on the N8 in its own right which makes it accessible enough for a blind person to access it... Third party software like Talks not withstanding. How stupid are they at Nokia? I'm very, very happy to support any genuine effort if they make a propper effort at accessibility but, for them to make out that all is good cause they show a few blind people using their products is either miss guided at best or, down right lies at worse. So, if anyone does have contacts to decision makers in Nokia who can listen and take part in good constructive dialogue, I'd be interested too. Cheers.
