Hi Judy!  I now use the IPhone and love it!  Before the IPhone I always just

used a flip phone with no voice, it was just a phone.  My husband had used 
the Iphone for several years using a magnifying glass and that worked for 
him.  After the Iphone 4s came out and reviews were favorable and more and 
more of my blind friends starting to use them; I was jealous!  My husband 
surprised me with one and I tell you; it's awesome!  I am not a techy person

and was scared at first, but it really is easy to use and getting used to 
the voice over and touch screen was not a problem.  Things are easy to 
understand so poking around and learning is not as stressful as I had 
anticipated.
    You will need a sighted person to turn on the voice over initially, but 
that is it.  I use mine for everything under the sun and love it!  Good luck

in your decision!

Have a great day!
Nickie

After years of using various Nokia devices with Talks, I'm thinking about 
switching to something else, or at least, seeing if there is anything better

out there.  I'm very impressed with the iPhone and VoiceOver, but would like

to hear how easy it is to adapt to using the touch pad.

I'm not impressed with MobileSpeak voices, tried a phone using that in a 
previous upgrade, and returned the phone and program.

I would like to hear from people about the pros and cons of the phones and 
programs they are using, so I can make an informed decision this next 
upgrade.

I am currently using Nokia's N96, but am not as happy with the phone as I 
thought I would be.  I have to replace the phone's plastic back every so 
often, although I do love the Talks clarity of eloquence speech.

Thanks in advance for all your advice and suggestions.

Judy Jones
