[Blindtlk] iPhone drawbacks?

Mon Feb 20 22:01:00 UTC 2012

Hi Bryan,

The Haven does access the Internet as far as I know; isn't that 
what My Verizon is? It just doesn't work with speech.

  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.

  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.

   hi,

   the samsung only has one speed.
   can you make the i-phone voice react faster or slower?

    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.

   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?
