Some Issues
This does have some interesting twist for those that like to keep your mail very secured. I did have to get some visual sighted people to help me through the setup process as I didn't see this very accessible at all. However, once the setup is completed it was more accessible to use. Some poorly labeled buttons but enough to understand and use. The other issue that I have is that you can't use the Dictation to create your mail. So you have to use the keyboard and if the reply is short. I can live with that but anything long you will need to use a BT Keyboard.
