[Electronics-talk] HTC Ozone

That's not true. You don't have to sign up for their online service just
because you have a smart phone. I have one and I dropped their online
service after three months.
Now, the blackberry does require you to sign up for online service.

FYI Verizon requires all smart phone users to sign up for their data 
plan which costs either $29.95 or $44.95 per month. Unless you need 
email and internet access these phones get pricey.

If you want the PDA function, ie. calendar and contacts the smart phone 
plus data plan is the only way to go.

If you want better voice output the LG8360 or LG9200 give you many menu 
acess points plus the 9200 can read and send text messages both out of 
the box without any other software or charges.

One final note. Apparently we have been hearing that Verizon may come 
out with another smart phone loadded with a screen reader program. You 
will still have the data plan issue.

Currently the only phone the offer themselves as fully accessible is the
Motorola 9Qc, but all the reviews I have read on it are very negative. I
want a smartphone. The best smartphone they offer as far as I can tell is a
HTC Ozone. I am really interested in it, but I dont know how accessible I
can get it. I have never uised Mobile Speaks or TALKS or anything and don't
know if they woudl work with this phone or not. Any advice?
