Hey all, I'm new to this 100% accessible smartphone business. I'm looking for any tips and tricks.

Question. I'm having trouble with the caller ID. As my phone rings, MS is speaking streight away. Then when I hit home-key to mute ringtone and hear who is calling, that doesn't seem to work properly. Any ideas? Do I have something set up wrong?

The check box is checked for mute ringtone and speak caller ID.

Thanks all! I'm loving the experience so far.

BTW, using the fonx voice instead of one of the fancy voices, does it really make a difference in speed and responsiveness?

Ut-Oh! Having a problem! MS isn't wanting to speak as much anymore!

I perform one task, say changing my background image, or checking my memory. That goes fine, but then I attempt to do something else, and ms doesn't want to speak.

I go into the start menu and nothing is said. I hit home + back to close the ap, then ms beeps, as if I hit home andwaited for something to happen. No what I mean? It begins speaking the home screen.

I've restarted my phone a few times, I've doubled checked my memory, and I've restarted ms, but no improvement.

Gall, can you think if there is anything I have done? Something I've messed up?

Thanks everybody.
