Is there a place where I can get theese directions? I'm guessing that I can probably get my mother to help me get accessibility stuff put on the phone or something. > > > > > > On Wed, 24 Dec 2003, Janina Sajka wrote: > > > > > When we first got the 3650 back in April we shipped it to Switzerland to > > > get Mobile Accessibility installed.
