I'm selling my easylink 12-cell bluetooth braille display. 8-dot braille output and braille keyboard. It works with all cell phones and probably the iPhone and iPod Touch (I don't think there's an official list of displays for that). I'm also selling my KNFB Reader classic. This is the Fujitsu attached to the Power Shot with the special case. Both items come with chargers. Braille display for $600, knfb for $500 or best offer. Email james period j dot dietz at gmail if interested.

Have you used it with MobileSpeak/cell phone both as input and output device, or am I misunderstanding the fact that it can both be a braille display and input device for, say, writing text messages?
If I can use it both to write and read messages with a phone and MobileSpeak I'd definitely be interested.
Cheers

I have bheen able to use it to input using both my Dell Axim X51v and Pantec Duo phone w/ both MobileSpeak Pocket and Smartphone. I've used it with MS 2.0. I've never tried it with 4. I'll be frank and warn you that CF's implementation of grade-2 translation was a little buggy and sometimes resulted in MSP crashing. Again this is with versions up to 2.0.4 which is my current version. It might also have been my Dell because ms would sometimes crash randomly (very much decreased with MS2.0). Anyway the braille display works fine.
