[Blindtlk] Would like to hear from cell phone users.

Except one can't surf the web using speech whereas it can be done with
sight.

It all depends on which carrier you have.  It sounds to me like 
you want an iPhone, which is great! If you have Verizon and want 
an accessible phone that isn't a smartphone, I would suggest the 
Sampsung Haven.  The phone is self-voicing, meaning that it has a 
screen reader built into the phone and therefore is accessible 
out of the box.  All of the menus are accessible.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

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.
