[Blindtlk] iPhone drawbacks?

Thu Feb 16 02:38:10 UTC 2012

Hi Bryan,

Are you using the Sampsung Haven? If not, what other Sampsung are 
you using? By the way, Mike is correct; you can't surf the Web 
using My Verizon on the Sampsung Haven; the one drawback I've 
seen with my Haven.  However, as anyone who has been on this list 
for any longer than a few days and seen how much I contribute to 
it can probably assume, I have found other ways to surf the Web 
and check email and still keep my Haven! * Grin! Other than that, 
the Haven is great for basic phone usage (calling, texting, 
reminders, etc) and is totally accessible.

opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

hi,

it works great for just calls and texting.
i have to wait for the speech to respond to move on to the next 
letter/menu choice.
on the samsung haven, speech is included.

  How is the Samsung working for you, what speech engine and what 
operating
  system?

  In my case, when I make a call on my Iphone, the keypad stays 
exposed.
 Now, when you have it set for touch typing, as I do, and you 
need for what
 ever reason to generate a sustained tone, the trick then is to 
swipe the
 screen until you hear the digit you wish, then, what you do is 
you double
 tap and hold that place on the screen.  This is because, as we 
Iphone
 users know, with touch typing, you move one finger around the 
screen and,
 when you hear the character you wish, lift your finger off and 
that
 character will type in right away.

 If a given site -- like a pharmacy or a bank -- has a set of 
menus one
 goes
 thru in a given sequence wherein one is expecting the same 
results, one
 can
 insert pauses into numbers dialed and one can put such a number 
into a
 contact so one can dial the whole sequence all at once and get 
to the
 menu
 one desires.  I do this with conferencing systems where I know 
the
 numbers
 and passcodes will stay the same.

 Judy,

 My husband would say that he can't make calls on the Iphone to 
save his
 life.  I don't have this issue, but it does all take practice.  
His
 thought is
 that the Iphone is not really for making and taking phone calls, 
but
 all the
 other extra it does.

 I've heard so much favorable press about the iPhone - does 
anyone on
 the
 list who uses one find any drawbacks to using it, other than the
 learning
 curve?
