[blparent] Off-topic: accessable cell phones?

[Mark Melonson]

Hi Rebecca,

I am with Sprint and have a Motorola Moto Q9C with Mobile Speak. Both AT&T 
and Verizon carry the Moto Q models. It's proven to be a reliable phone with 
decent battery life even when using speech over Bluetooth. There are screen 
reader solutions available for most Symbian and Windows Mobile devices, I 
suggest you go the route of contacting an AT vendors who can demo their cell 
phone accessibility wares, so you can get a feel for it and they should be 
able to tell you which models and with which services are supported.

Regards,
-Mark
