hey all,
what exactly does someone have to do to get the bn MPOwer to work with mobileSpeak as a display? i've gotten my bn paired with my q, but when ever i try to activate the display with mobile speak it doesn't show any pairings. what am i doing wrong, or not doing?
the bn is in braille terminal mode once i get the pairing set. i'm stuck ats to what to do here, any help would be welcomed.
thanks.

why would you ever want to use a huge note taker like that with a phone, you might as well just get a laptop. quite complex, don't you think. I wouldn't walk around with a phone/notetaker dangling from me. and if you are just sitting at a desk why not just use a laptop. I also thing smart phones are way over priced. I'm not sure why a blind person needs a phone that can make coffee for them when a phone is just supposed to call people. Seriously, are we doing this to show off? Track phones are great, reliable and get the job done. going with a service plan costs buckets of money and unless you are rich and can aford such a plan then don't bother. Dude if you have a laptop use that, if you need to call people get a track phone simple as that.

if you don't have anything good to say, keep your mouth shut. for your information, i want to be able to read my text messages in braille and write back in grade 2 which would be translated.
