I might be getting myself the Blind Shell Classic 3 in the near future, but have some questions.
If you ask Luna AI assistant a question, how long does it typically take for it to have an answer?
If you start a stopwatch or timer, will it run in the background?
Are you able to pair any Bluetooth speaker or headphones to Blind Shell 3? For instance, has anyone been able to pair their Blind Shell to a pair of Airpods?
How well does the email application work on Blind Shell Classic 3? I was listening to a tutorial and noticed the app kept popping up with error messages and seemed difficult to use. Is this still the case?
Are you able to read PDF documents on the Blind Shell?
I know someone mentioned MMS messaging wasn’t working properly on the Blind Shell Classic 2. Is this still the case on the Blind Shell Classic 3?
Regarding installing 3rd party apps, are you able to install Apple Music and Dropbox?
Thanks and I hope to hear from you all soon.
Hello!
Please find answers to your questions. I am no blindshell3 expert therefore the support can answer these questions better.
Q: If you ask Luna AI assistant a question, how long does it typically take for it to have an answer?
Only one second for internal commands, complex question can last some seconds. In rare cases it needs a minute or fails. I guess it works as fast as other AI.
Q: If you start a stopwatch or timer, will it run in the background?
Yes
Q: Are you able to pair any Bluetooth speaker or headphones to Blind Shell 3? For instance, has anyone been able to pair their Blind Shell to a pair of Airpods?
Not tested yet
Q: How well does the email application work on Blind Shell Classic 3? I was listening to a tutorial and noticed the app kept popping up with error messages and seemed difficult to use. Is this still the case?
I have no problems but I use it not often.
Q: Are you able to read PDF documents on the Blind Shell?
Yes
Q: I know someone mentioned MMS messaging wasn’t working properly on the Blind Shell Classic 2. Is this still the case on the Blind Shell Classic 3?
No experience
Q: Regarding installing 3rd party apps, are you able to install Apple Music and Dropbox?
Both can be downloaded but the first does not work as it seems and the second can not be installed

Hello,
I know I’m late to this one, but this forum is so dead I rarely come back here anymore. Anyway, it sounds like you want to do a fair few things with your phone. I think the BSC3 will disappoint you. I’ll try to answer your questions.
Q: If you ask Luna AI assistant a question, how long does it typically take for it to have an answer?
I don’t have any experience with Luna. AI is a blight on society and the sooner it dies the better.
Q: How well does the email application work on Blind Shell Classic 3? I was listening to a tutorial and noticed the app kept popping up with error messages and seemed difficult to use. Is this still the case?
The email application is text only. This makes reading most emails a real pain but it can be done. However in my experience the app isn’t even working half the time for us Outlook users.
Q: I know someone mentioned MMS messaging wasn’t working properly on the Blind Shell Classic 2. Is this still the case on the Blind Shell Classic 3?
That someone may have been me. It isn’t that MMS isn’t working properly, cause that presumes that it can work. No, it is not working ON PURPOSE. For some unknown bloody reason they refuse to implement it properly. I think it’s because they can’t figure out how to make their system process the image data from an MMS. But the way they chose to disallow that service has led to people missing very important messages and in my opinion is inexcusable.
Q: Regarding installing 3rd party apps, are you able to install Apple Music and Dropbox?
Forget installing 3rd party apps, I haven’t got a single bloody thing to work on it. It’s a useless feature.
There are some other major issues with this phone. If you want to do more than calling and texting (even that is limited) then I would not recommend..
