Congratulations for this experimental application to Nokia Beta Labs. Unfortunately, accessibility isn’t strongly supported by Nokia. For example, Nuance’s screen reader developers for Symbian are afraid that they perhaps can’t develop powerful screen reading software for the Symbian platform furthermore. Read this article on the official Symbian blog and follow Mr. Groeber’s link on the comment section. Blind customers need a good working screen reader to use all functionalities of their Nokia S60 devices and not just a SMS Braille Reader: http://blog.symbian.org/2009/09/15/can-mobile-be-accessible/
