[Electronics-talk] New Talking Cell Phone

[Sherri]

It does all those things apparently. I am on the Verizon list and there's 
all kinds of info about it. I'm glad that Andy mentioned it, however, 
because I probably wouldn't have checked about it thinking it was another 
one of those high-tech phones that takes Talx or Mobile-Speak. Thanks to 
Andy.
