I'm forwarding this message to the group with my reply at the bottom.  I approved it but unfortunately I don't see that it made its way to the group so wanted to share this.

Dear all,

So far the discussion here was quite interesting and most of it I can totally support. But can anybody here give us a hands-on experience report i.e. how is the Blackberry screen reader working, what can you do with it, what can you not do with it, etc.

Thanks in advance for your efforts!

Ginger,
 
Thanks for the message!  I'm responding immediately in brief but will certainly respond more in depth once I have a BlackBerry Curve device in my hands and can demo it for everyone.  I plan on doing this very soon but am waiting on saying too much beforehand.  I can tell you this.  You will be able to access core functions and core applications of the blackberry device including but not limited to the following: messaging (SMS/MMS/Email), changing settings on the device, working within calendar and contacts (adding/editing/deleting/browsing), working with social networking applications such as Twitter and Facebook, viewing date/time/battery/device status, and change the alert ringtones/vibrations for any alerts on the device (incoming phone calls from contacts, messaging alerts for contacts, facebook and twitter, calendar reminders, blackberry messenger, etc).
 
Again, I will have a demonstration available just as soon as I am able to get a device in hand.  For more information you can visit www.blackberry.com/accessibility and read for yourself what you will be able to do so far with "Screenreader."
