[Electronics-talk] accessible verizon phones

[Christopher Chaltain]

That may be true as far as smart phones is concerned, but it may also be 
worth checking out their other Windows Mobile phones to see if any of 
them will support Talks or Mobile Speak. The iPhone is also supposed to 
be coming to Verizon sometime this year.

There are also a handful of other Verizon phones which have some built 
in speech, like the Haven. Some of these may support bluetooth. I'd 
suggest starting out with Verizon's accessibility page at 
http://aboutus.vzw.com/accessibility/index.html.
