[BlindTlk] Help buying a smart phone please...

[James Kelm]

Dear friends,

    OK, I am going to be trying to enter into this century, at least as far
as telephones go!  LOLL  I can use your help!

    I need to get a smart phone for work.  But like so many others, I have a
limited financial budget.  I need the phone for calls of course, but that is
actually somewhat secondary.  I mainly need it so that I can learn about the
wide range of aps out there that are especially helpful for the blind.  So
my main question is this, I can get an affordable price on the following
phones: Sky Devices 5.0Q 8GB 3G/4G Android 4.4 Unlocked $79.99, and the
iPhone 4S 8 GB $99.00.  Are either of these phones a particularly good
choice for me to start my smart phone journey on?  Also, are they something
that will serve me well, or will I be frustrated and out of date very
quickly.  Are they like getting a computer with an OS of Windows 5?  I tend
to be more interested in the iPhone, but is this one a great deal different
from those that were just released?  Like I said I need this for work, so I
want to make the right choices.

    Thank you so much for your help!


Respectfully,
James
