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

[James Kelm]

OK, please forgive my ignorance, but I'm trying to learn.  What is an
Iphone?  Is that simply a particular model of either an iPhone or an
Android, or is it a third option all together?

I recommend the Iphone. It is the most accessible. Also, you 
might be able to get one from your state.

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that will serve me well, or will I be frustrated and out of date 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
