Subject: [BlindTlk] getting a cell phone...

Hi all,
My family keeps bugging me about getting a cell phone and I know I really should get with the times and get one but I just can't stand touch screens and don't trust dictation. There's a phone that's meant for visually ipaired people who don't want/can't use touch screens but it only has numbers so typing would be rather difficult and one of the main reasons my parents want me to get a phone is for texting. I know you can use a keyboard but I don't really see the point in getting a phone just to use a keyboard with it. Like I said I know I really should get with the times and have a cell phone but they're just so expensive and I highly doubt I'd use it for much more then talk/text so I'm not really sure what to do. Any thoughts? Thanks for any thoughts and please don't judge me as I'm not trying to knock Apple or Google.
Madison
