[Electronics-talk] New Talking Cell Phone

[Ray Foret Jr]

Okay.  What's better about it than the LG line?  Do all the levels of menus talk?  How about caller ID info?  Will it announce the name and or number of the calling party?

Very important as I'm thinking about this one for sure.

Thanks.


Sincerely,

Hello Andy and list,

My wife and I got this phone Thursday!  It certainly isn't perfect but much better than the LG offerings from VZW.
