Dear Ann,
I currently use a Nokia 9210i, albeit more as a portable computer than as a
mobile phone. I have therefore been able to try out the "Talks" software.
For anyone who already owns a 9210i, a trial is downloadable from
http://www.bugcom.de/index_e.htm or comproom.co.uk
"TALKS
for the Nokia
Communicator 9200 Series
The "talking mobile phone"
(not just) for blind users"
OR

Computer Room Services is proud to announce that we are a UK supplier of
the Talx 9200 screen reading software for the Nokia 9210 and 9210I mobile
phones. What is Talx?
TALX 9200 is a screen reader for the Nokia Communicator 9200 series of
phones. It allows a blind or visually impaired person to use the PDA part
of this phone. With TALX and the Nokia Communicator 9210 or 9210i, you can:"...
This trial version works for 15 minutes. If the battery is taken out and
replaced, you get a further 15 minutes...
for those in London, the RNIB has a working Nokia with the software built
in. The phone (with TALKS) is available via Vodafone.
