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

[Judy Jones]

The iPhone is created by Apple, whereas the Android platform has many
different manufacturers and more phone choices.  Many in foreign countries
prefer the Android platform, because you have choices of less expensive
phones, whereas Apple produces the single iPhone.  

Both are accessible though.  Android is more customizable, and mostly free
apps.

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that will serve me well, or will I be frustrated and out of date 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