[Electronics-talk] Cell Phone Question

[Elizabeth Campbell]

Hi Norma,

i bought the iPhone in November,  and  I don't regret purchasing it one bit.

If you have an AT&T store or Apple store near  you I recommend getting a 
demo of the phone.

When I got my IPhone, I upgraded to AT&T's family plan because I wanted to 
keep my Nokia E71X with the Talks software while I was learning to use the 
IPhone.

Others are correct when they say there is a learning curve involved in using 
the touch screen and VoiceOver, but spending time practicing the various 
touch screen gestures will help tremendously, in my opinion.

I believe the IPhone also has magnification, but I am not sure how good that 
feature is.

One of my favorite features of  the  phone is the App store with the 
hundreds of selections.There are apps for everything from finding Starbucks 
locations to one which links to radio reading services available on the 
Internet.

The apps included wiht the phone are accessible, and there is a list of 
accessible apps on a web site called
www.lioncourt.com

I stilll have my Nokia phone, but I find that I use the IPhone more and 
more.

Talks is an excellent screen reader in my opinion, but I find the e-mail and 
web browser features on the Nokia to be more cumbersome and difficult to use 
than those on the IPhone.

The Nokia's querty keyboard utilizes keystroke combinations for numbers and 
punctuation marks thus making it more difficult to text or send e-mails.

Anyway, I hope this information is helpful.

Take care.

Liz
