The ability to install without sighted assistance is claimed by the marketers of TALX. PS: If anyone buys either Mobile Accessibility or TALX, please file a complaint with the FCC for a Section 255 violation on the part of your phone company and Nokia. See http://www.afb.org/section255.asp. Why? Because, by U.S. law, you shouldn't have to pay a single dime for telephone accessibility.
