Jessica:
Sense you were using the 6620 I am only assuming that you are using Talks as 
your screen reading program. I am not currently aware of any phone which 
would be sold in stores that will support Talks. However, I would suggest 
that you take a look at the Talks website and see what phones are supported 
and call and ask the store locally if they have said phone. To further, the 
N82 is not an AT&T branded phone and would not be sold by them. This is not 
saying that you couldn't use it on the AT&T network. However, they do not 
sell this particular phone.
