Grant, it appears you should set up a mini-museum with your collection of wireless gadgets and keep going as technology evolves and improves for us deaf consumers!!! As a Mac user at home, I am curious as others are, to see the actual iPhone when it's out and if it will be functional for us???

I still love it because its tiny and easy to carry. Its on my desk. It was very handy when I was stranded at one of the airports after landing during the 9/11 attack. My second one is Blackberry 7730 and now I'm using a Sidekick II. I could surf internet and use the i711 relay service in my SK II when I'm away from my computer.
