[Electronics-talk] Anybody out there know about accessible Cellphones with Verizon?

[Baracco, Andrew W]

If you want a phone on which you can use Mobile Speak, they have the
Motorola Q.  The LG phones have speech out of the box, but accessibility
is not complete.  You can perform many functions, but cannot do Email or
Web.  The LG VX 9100, otherwise known as the ENV2, does have accessible
text messaging, but still no Internet.  However, these phones are much
cheaper than buying both a phone and Mobile Speak.

Hi,

I'll make this short and sweet y'all.  My girlfriend just got Verizon
service.  I wouldn't mind getting it myself; but, running in to
problems.

I went to:
www.accessiblephones.com
or something like that and called Verizon and ran down the list of
phones that were said to be compatible with Verizon service.  None of
the phones I asked about were available.  The only phone they said they
had was the LG5500 which they said did not speak in any way nor have any
accessible features.  As for their so-called disability department for
Wireless, they appear to have done away with that.  I waisted an entire
hour of my time this morning trying to find information and discovered
that I really found out nothing.  If anybody out there can properly
direct me as to phones which Verizon offers now and which do have
accessibility built in or else support Talks or Mobile speak, I'd
appreciate it.  Thanks.

Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray
