From: "Maurice Press" <mauricepr...@enterprise.net> Date: 26/04/2011 9:52 am
Hi All, Forgive the long subject line but I wanted to make the email clear so that those who aren't interested in this won't waste their time reading it. I now have my new Nokia N8 and absolutely love it. I've worked out a lot of the features and have almost set it up as I like. However, I have a few questions and wonder if anyone can assist. Firstly, I have no sight at all so am totally dependent upon both the touch screen and speech so no visual hints please. 1. when I try to send a text to a contact I've been told by a colleague that, the quick way is pressing the call button to get my contacts up and then if I type the first letters of the name a list will appear. However, when I get what looks like the usual number pad keyboard rather than the Qwerty one, when I try typing letters, all I'm getting is Numbers. I would rather use the number and letter keypad at this time rather than the querty. So, how do I get the letters to come up? I've had a sighted colleague try this as well and she has the same results. Have I been given wrong information. I could always go to contacts that way. 2. Contacts, Now, is there a quick way of navigating through contacts. Say, pressing G to find Guy. I have used the scrolling down feature which is fine but takes longer and also the navigation keys which work fine but again I need to scroll through all contacts. 3. When I get a new message, I can press on the screen and here what it says, however, how could I hear the message read say word f by word or sentence by sentence. 4. Sending a text, When I'm typing into a text field, how do I navigate back through the text to make spelling changes ETC. And 5. Can anyone tell me the best way to reply to a message. Thanks for all this and sorry for all the questions.
