Well, if nobody here can recommend one of these, or eliminate any, maybe 
someone here can let me know how to get the screenreader going on an 
Android, so I can inform the guy at the cell store.
I really thought that there would be some Android users here.
Feel free to post my request to another list, as this gal needs help right 
away, she is now without a phone, and this company has no loaner phones, and 
you cannot return a phone once you get it.
So she really needs some guidance ASAP.

Glenn

Hi,
A client of mine wants to stay with her local-based phone company, so they 
have only a limited selection of phones, but she does not wish to switch 
companies.
I talked to the guy at the company for her, and he sent me a list of the 
android phones they have, and my client will need to choose from one of 
these.
She will be using either the built-in screenreader, or perhaps she will need 
to spend a hundred bucks for Mobile Speak, I don't know how to direct her, 
since I use an iPhone.
But here's the list, and I'm hoping that someone here can advise regarding 
the screenreader, such as Steel, or which would be best, or if she should 
use MS.
She is not very computer savvy, and she has never used a smart phone, so 
this is a consideration as well.  She was using one of the some-what 
accessible LG non-smart phones before.
The list is:

samsung galaxy Y
alcatel ot-908
alcatel ot-990a
samsung s5690 xcover
alcatel ot- 995

That is the list, so if anyone knows which is best with a screenreader, I 
will pass that along.
Thanks.
Glenn
