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

[Sherri]

On the LG 9800, it does say that there is text to speech on e-mail, but have 
not seen it. I do use it both to send and receive messages. The LG9800 and 
the other LG phone mentioned in Andy's message are very similar.
