I've used iphone before bluetooth keyboards could be used with them but now
that they can be and the latest firmware contained a lot of improvements for
visually impaired I'm seriously considering available options especially as
the new handset comes out in June. there are still many things I don't like
about them but you don't lose functionality when the firmware is updated.
Phones like the n86 and e72 won't work properly with bluetooth hearing aids
yet the n95 does and the iphone does . I used to look forward to firmware
updates now I wonder what part of the phone and talks will not function
after the update. Still if this problem is fixed before the new iphone hits
the stores well then all well and good. As the last version was recently
released it's doubtful.

Subject: Re: [Talks] phone updates.
I am beginning to wonder whether I have made a mistake in buying Nokia c5
and Talks. I didd think about this long and hard as so many blind users
move to iPhone but i still feel that I wanted an ordinary phone with
buttons so that I can be sure what I do especially under pressure or in a
hurry. But now I wonder whether I have made a mistake. Is Nuance aware of
these problems and are they likely to update Talks, or is it down to Nokia?

Well as the e52 commented on talks and email problems the same is true
following the latest phone firmware update for the e72. I have checked
the settings and none were altered as part of the update process. The
header like who the message is from and the subject line are all read but
the main body of the text is not read. if you use talks long down arrow
the subject line is read again letter by letter but stil the body of the
message is not spoken. I tried then to play the message using the nokia
message reader but no luck their either you would think they would test
their own message reader can read the messages. Now I did not update the
email application but obviously that update was included. As the nokia
message reader does not work for email I am hoping they will fix this
problem as the email app now is totally in accessible. I will try
changing font sizes to see if I can find a work around. It's things like
this make you consider other platforms I mean the last 2 updates have
cause loss in functionality rather than an improvement.
