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

[Judy Jones]

Both Android and Apple ar very accessible.  Plus we've been talking about accessible flip phones that are out there for those who only want to talk, text and take photos and videos.

The Lucia mobile phone from Raz Mobility does not have a camera.
