I have friends who use and like the Google Nexus 4. Because it comes from
Google, it runs the latest version of the Android OS, currently 4.3, and
because it comes from Google, it will always use the latest version of
Android, and Talk Back, the Google screen reader, and it uses what is
referred to as "stock Android" which means that there isn't anything added
to it that would affect accessibility. I believe that there is a version of
the Samsung Galaxy S4 which is called the S4 Google, and also runs stock
Android.

Well, I have my Samsung Galaxy S3 in the box ready to send it back to my
sister.  She sent it to e as a present for my birthday and that was August
2.  I haven't been able to use it to do anything.  And no one sighted has
been of any help either.  Sorry!

Is anyone happily using an Android phone?  I've been looking at the Samsung
offerings.  They're a lot more affordable than an iPhone, and seem more
available without signing a 2-year contract, too.  And Android doesn't
require me to join the Apple cult following, which seems akin to joining the
Moonies or something. But I keep hearing questions about their
accessibility.  The things I want to do are make phone calls, look at
websites, and stream online broadcasts.
Thanks.
Tracy
