[Electronics-talk] accessible Verizon phones

[Drew Hunthausen]

David,
I'd be interested in your feedback with the Gusto. I need to get a new phone
and would get the Haven except for the lack of Bluetooth. Can you send and
receive text messages? Does the phone read everything to you. Thanks

Dear Jerry,

Besides the "Haven" there is also the "Gusto".  Both are accessible, right 
out of the box and have speech build into them the needs to be turned on in 
the menus.
The Haven is more simple and can not do the internet, e-mail, but can read 
text messages and you can run everything including putting in and erasing 
contacts.
The Gusto also has built in speech, can do the internet, take and send 
photos, do e-mail and send and receive text messages has a G.P.S. app that 
you can get for it.  The biggest problem I ran into, I have the Gusto, is 
that I have not been able to get an accessible manual for it to learn how to

run all of the features of the phone yet.  I have learned most of what I 
know by trial and error.
The I-Phone  is coming to this service later this year and is fully 
accessible.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
