[Electronics-talk] Accessible Phones for Verizon

[Christopher Chaltain]

You can get the HTC Ozone, which runs Windows Mobile,  with Talks on it
through Verizon. I don't have such a phone myself, but it's been discussed
on several accessible phones mailing lists.

In fact, I think this is off topic for this list, and I'd suggest you ask
this question on the Talks or Blind Phones mailing list. Even if it isn't
off topic for this list, you'll probably get more information on a list
dedicated to accessible cell phones or even cell phones running Talks.

I believe that Talks does not work on Windows Mobile but Mobile Speak does.
Hope this helps.

Dear colleagues.
My employer is considering changing mobile phone carriers to Verizon in an
effort to save telecom expense in our tight budget. Luckily, our executive
director is very conscientious in considering my needs for accessibility,
which prompts my question. Can anyone commend a good accessible phone,
preferrably one that runs Talks, since I use Talks as the screen reader for
my personal phone which is a Nokia N82? I understand LG has several models
keyed to Verizon's communication relay towers. If we end up electing to take
phones running Windows Mobile instead of Simbian OS will Talks run on a Win
Mobile phone? Thanks in advance.
