Weehee let's take the piss out of a guy losing his sight. Let us know when
anyone else has a debilitating condition and we can rip them for that as
well.

You small minded, miserbale c*nts. Think back to when a member of your
family was getting something that you expected friends, etc. to feel sorry
for and then reconsider the dross you typed above.

All harks back to the saying 'simple things amuse simple minds' I suppose.

Sorry, you're confusing me for someone that gives a shit.

On Friday "kyte" was talking to Glimmerman about small phones...

For the record I'm severe low vision myself (6/24, 2/200, restricted field
with nystag etc etc)...


Far as I'm aware, the Royal Blind Society (RBS) of New South Wales
(Australia) Adaptive Tech unit don't have any software to help this (yet!) I
talked to them about this a few months ago, so this might have changed.
Nokia don't have any Adaptive Technology (AT) software solutions yet either


However, a friend of mine put me onto a hard, credit card size +10 diopta
(approx 2.75x magnification) lens. It's hard, and expands like a spy camera.
I usually stick that into a different pocket when carrying a small mobile.
Great for SMS on the run.


However, if that's not your style, a couple of other things to think about:

FOR TODAY:

If you don't like the idea of a magifyer, but you still like a small phone:

* If you can deal with bright, N10 text then check out the new Panasonic
folding phone (see http://www.panasonicmobile.com/frame/a_eng.html). While
not the smallest on the market, it's right up there, and the screen quality
sets a new benchmark. I'm giving that a serious think at the moment. I can
pick up bright N10 text, but at a strain.

* A dodgier solution: Thought about using the Hangspring Treo with a program
called TealMagnify (though I haven't tested this). This will enlarge to N16
(tops!). However, TealMagnify doesn't work like PC enlargement programs in
the fact you can either view (in big print) or interact (in small print)...

but...
FOR THE (possible) FUTURE:

* The newer phones from Nokia and SonyEric. support downloadable programs. I
haven't seen any adaptive tech programs for these platforms yet, but big
print is a feature that low vision people (and voice synth for that matter)
for a long time... This may provide the facility to upgrade the
manufacturer's phone.



Hope this helps!

Willing to lend a hand on this, Adaptive Technology is close to my heart.


M.

PS For the other readers and posters: My mates make jokes about my vision
impairement all the time, and I think it's great. (for instance, M starts
the night blind, even before he's had anything to drink!)

And yes, some of you were right with the suggested 'larger phone' solution.

However, if it's possible, and their is an opportunity, and it doesn't cause
too much stress, then why shouldn't a vision impaired person have the same
choices (within reason) as a fully sighted person. There **is** enlargement
programs for other platforms, if this guy chooses a smaller phone, why
should it be denied to him because of something outside of his control.  He
also might not want to 'flaunt' his vision impairment to all and sundry,
similiar to how other minorities also choose to keep their differences
descreet from time to time.

Don't mean to get upset or anything over this, just wanting to celebrate how
good mates sometimes take the mickey (which is healthy) but balance that
against at least trying to give everyone a fair go.

Trouble is not many phone manufacturers make phones
that are large.  The biggest phone I have is an old 1630
which is dead but when it was working it was a joy to
use ad it had large characters on the screen very easy
to read etc. etc.

I'm coping with my current phone but only just.....

Have you tried the Nokia 6300 series?

You were warned about the consequences of your wanking.

Do the decent thing and top yourself forthwith.

Just as a matter of interest, how big is N10 text? Have you looked at 
the more recent Ericsson/ Sony Ericsson phones (from T39/R520 onwards) 
that let you choose a large font? With the ability to change "themes" 
you can change the background/foreground colours as well, so you can 
try to optimise the contrast, though I'm not sure how you can define 
your own rather than the few presets that come with it.

The solution is an older, larger phone

This is no use to you now obviously, but the old adage "Try before you buy"
is very relevant. I was considering a T191 until I found I couldn't hit the
right keys without a 25% error rate. The Nokia 8250 has small keys as well,
but my hands seem to take to it like a duck to water. It's all about
personal preference.

You are such a prick, you are just trying to flog your knackered old phones,
when none of them would be as large or clear as a 6310i.

Stop taking piss out of the 6310 Jason.

Fail to see how i was taking the piss out of the 6310.

If you learnt how to post and quote, you would have been able to quote the
part of my post where i was taking the piss.

I had to get my old Siemens S10 (I think its an S10) out of the drawer
when my phone packed up recently.  I have to say it was a joy to use
and the call clarity was superb.  There seemed something right about
holding it in my hand and the microphone actually being near my mouth
rather than feeling like I was scratching my ear and the mike being
god knows where.

BUT, it looks ridiculous now, although it is still slimmer than many
phones on the market now.

My feeling is that phones will get bigger again as people demand
better screens and a small Qwerty keyboard on their phone, plus the
camera of course.

I have an Ericsson A1018S that my son uses. His eyesight is perfect an he
doesn't need the very clear buttons and display. He does like it though but
I could persuade him to be public spirited and swap with you.

The Nokia 5510 was that. It flopped very spectacularly indeed.

Not familar with the T191, but sometimes legibilty is not just about size,
but also about brightness, contrast, shading, type of fonts, etc.

You might find one of the new high-res color screens more readable.

I don't have any suggestions I'm afraid.

Given that the populations of Europe, the US and Japan are ageing (i.e. 
there is a greater, and increasing, proportion of people over 65) I'm 
surprised that the handset manufacturers aren't addressing these sorts 
of issues. Not that I'm suggesting you're old ;-) Many of the usability 
issues that oldies have are shared by younger people with 
'disabilities'.

I find it strange that virtually all companies seem to be pouring more 
and more resources into the ever shrinking* youth market. For example 
the BBC and its new digital channels: CBeebies for the very young, CBBC 
for the younger teenagers and BBC3 for those in their 20's and early 
30's.

Who dont actually use mobile phones all that much...

In some respects they are like with voice dialing.

Tho its very doubtful how many of the geriatrics
will bother with that sort of new fangled stuff.

They do that for a reason. Its those stupid enough to piss heaps
of money against the wall on stupid use of mobile phones.

Presumably even the BBC has noticed that those groups spend
quite a bit of their time as couch potatoes and that the geriatrics
have been pretty well supplied with soaps and shit for decades now.

ROFL




Although a wristwatch phone would be very cool. I'd not say
no to that.

Does the tech for that exist now or are wanky cameras going
to be the trend?

Fraid not, it flopped very spectacularly indeed.

The NEC e808, one of Three's 3g launch handsets, is a perfect example of
this.  A clamshell design with a small qwerty built in.  Looks a very
peculiar shape though from the pictures I've seen - quite awkward to hold by
the look of things.

I think several watch size phones have been demoed at several tech fairs for
some years, so tech wise, yes. however fashion always seems to prevail, so
expect more cameras.

cameras = MMS = ripoff MMS charges by the operator - you do the math. :-)

check out the samsung S-100 at www.phonescoop.com.  Only in testing
phase and no projected launch date.
