Do you have any remarks to make about the availability of devices/services that work for the deaf? Your own experience is fine. It is only by accident that I'm doing this right after WyndTell service was canceled. Regards, Phil Phil Carson RCR Wireless News pcarson@crain.com Jen or anyone on this blog,

I agree with Nan - it's inconspicuous. It's so much easier to use, to carry, etc, etc. I've had a SK2 for years too, but I hate typing on it as opposed to the WT. I only had it for AIM and the 'Net, but now that WT pulled the plug on us as of yesterday, October 16th, I have no choice but to switch over to the SK full time. *wah* Fare thee well, beloved WyndTell!! *snif* I thought I was the last!

You can get them pretty cheap on eBay though, about $70 for the SK2 and about $35 for the SK1. I am pretty sure nobody gets a Sidekick for free whether you are deaf or not.
