1. There appear to be 2 different screens, an active and an inactive one.
Is it possible to have just one screen? How is this achieved? I like
either as the moode takes me, using the active to check if i have e-mail
or
what is current in the News. However, I like having the photograph of my
guide dog on the inactive4 screen.
2. Receiving a text message. If I am in the area of my phone in the
house,
I can hear a text alert. However, when I go to the phone and activate
it,
using the slide switch on the right, Talks does not inform me that there
is
a new message. I have a little vision and found presumably an icon on
the
bottom third of the left of the screen. When I placed my finger over
this,
Talks said 1. It was the one message. I tapped it and the message
opened.
3. Conversations, does anyone bother with this in Messaging? I am not
sure
of its real function except there is an advatage if sending multiple
messages in conversation to and fro to someone and where one word
responses
come back like Yes or What exactly do you mean? then it is possible to
refer
to the thread. It seems like taking up a lot of space on the phone but
perhaps not.
4. How much actual memory does the E6 have without memory card? Mine
gives
me the impression with Talks that there are just over 6 GB of memory!!!
5. While I can now read my e-mails, I am a little irritated, maybe I am
touching something but when I go to press Vol Down twice (having pressed
the
Talks key) to read the message, a screen is popping up giving me the
option
to Reply etc. Anyone else experienced this?
6. On my E7 (just gone back) I could arrow down through my e-mail Inbox
just
to hear who the messages are from, but on the E6 while I can arrow down,
Talks does not speak. I have to open the message before I get anything
meaningful at the e-mailbox. I do get things like New Mail etc but no
relevant information in relation to the e-mails themselves.
7. Writing a text and sending it. This is good in that all the options
are
on the touch screen down the right side and on the bottom of the screen.
Once I am ready to send, if I choose to press the soft key one on screen
instead of the relevant icon to the right of the screen, I get the usual
options like Send, add recepient etc. Now again with a little vision I
have
observed that I must ensure that the arrow down key has selected the
option
I want, say it is Add Recepient and is the 3rd one down, that is fine,
but
the first option is Send. Talks says Send but I need to ensure that I
have
the down arrow on it, presumably highlighting/selecting that option
because
unless I do, I do not get the soft key one on screen. The best way I can
describe this is like on a computer the way a screen when inactive is
greyed
out but when it is active, as in the case of multiple word documents open
on
screen, the active or selected one is then the one that one can work on.
If anyone has taken time to read through all these comments and if you
have
anything to add or to inform me on, I would appreciate either an off list
response or if you feel your responses will be of benefit to the list,
obviously an on-list response.
