Off topic -- Mobile accessibility V Talx

[Janina Sajka]

Please note that our experience came last July, before Mobile
Accessibility was on the market in the U.S. I believe they've released a
new version since then, and any notes we might have may well not be all
that helpful today. In any case, I don't have such notes, and I won't be
back in the office until January 2.

Have you talked with the product vendor about this issue?

Also, have you handled the device you want to install this software on
to be sure that you will like working with it? The 3650 has a dial pad
that I have personally found unpleasant to use because I spent so much
time finding the next button to push. It's not a typical touch-tone
keypad.
