Smart phones for blind users

Strange as it may seem blind people do use mobile phones, however many features are wasted, to access something as simple as a message you need a separate program such as "Nuance Talks" that costs as much as the phone!

Now Nokia is half way there with the speech for some functions so how much harder to take the extra step and include text to speech from the screen?

For those people "on the go" just think how handy to press a button and hear the message in your bluetooth device! or scroll down your contacts list without having to look at your screen!

Please Nokia, the world has many poorly sighted people, take the step and make an effort to make phones "accessible"!
