[Blindtlk] iPhone information

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

An 8 GB model should be enough to get you started.  After two years you 
could upgrade without penalty if you find it isn't enough.  Since it's a 4 
and not a 4S, you won't be able to run Siri on it, so some parts of the 2012 
National Braille Press book won't be applicable, but I think you got the 
older book anyway.  Those books are really good, in whatever format you can 
use them.

If I must deal with a voice-mail system, I find it much easier to plug 
earbuds into the phone, rather than using its speaker-phone function, where 
the VoiceOver voice may confuse the system on the other end of the line.

Hello everyone. I just got an iPhone 4. It’s an eight gig. Will that be 
enough memory, or should I try to exchange it for a 16 gig? I have the book 
getting started with the iPhone.  is that helpful? I often  send and 
receive text messages. Should I purchase an external keyboard? Is it best to 
find apps and ringtones directly from the phone? when you call a company and 
are asked to press one for customer service etc., how do you enter that 
information? I would appreciate any tips on getting started. Feel free to 
email me off list. Thank you.
    Sarah
