[Electronics-talk] Verizon phones,

[Baracco, Andrew W]

The ENV 3 is the current model.  The differences between it and the ENV
2 appear to be minor, and do not effect accessibility.

I have had somewhat similar questions.  The Verizon web under
accessibility
lists env2 not env3 as an accessible phone.  is the web out of date?
how
does env2 compare to env3 for our purposes?

I am not sure what you are asking. The ENV3 and the Samsung Renown 
appear to be the best out of the box phones for most tasks. Each seems 
to have a similar voice recognition system but from what the list 
members are saying the ENV3 is a candy bar phone with a qwerty keyboard 
internally whilr the renown is a flip with a single keypad.

Once you turn on the voice prompting many of the menus talk to you and 
many tasks can be done with voice controls.

accessible phones out of the box.  Today I went to Verizon to
investigate
the NV3 as I heard it would read more menus and would read text messages
(should I ever be inclined to do such), etc.  The problem that I have is
that the people in the stores don't seem to know everything about the
voice
other than the voice recognition which as a medical transcriptionist is
a
rather bad subject for me personally.  I would rather the phone talk to
me
than me to it, although admittedly numbers that I don't use often and so
don't recall I will acquiesce, only to oftentimes have to do it several
times which reminds me even more what I don't like about voice
recognition,
particularly if one is in a crowd.  Anyway, help would be greatly
appreciated.
