[Electronics-Talk] perfect cell phone

[Gerald Levy]

I believe that the Gusto is actually made by Samsung for use with Verizon 
Wireless.  Does this phone have voice commands to access the various 
features, such as voice dialig and battery status? I'm still using a 
refurbished LG 4650 with Page Plus Cellular that I picked up a few years ago 
online for the ridiculous price of only $15. It still works perfectly, and I 
only use it occasionally for emergencies. I especially like it because I can 
dial phone numbers by voice instead of using the numeric keypad.

I don't know if this would help you or not, but the gusto made by Verizon 
seems to work well for me. It has regular buttons & all of the menus talk. I 
hope this helps.

I had been trying to avoid a description of my perfect ideal cell, because 
others have heard my whining before, but not because I particularly mind 
citing my requirements, so, hope no one minds my list, again:


--not necessarily in order of preference:
No touch screen, only tactile keys, for all functions; failing that, a 
tactile overlay for orientation An easy-to-use interface Easy and quick web 
access Audible cues—TTS for functions and menus Pleasant voice, preferably 
(though not necessarily) male Very clear, though not loud, speech No harsh 
sounds when functions are starting—I don’t mind some of what I hear from the 
Galaxies, but both the Nexus 5 and the IPhones are jarring to my Asperger’s 
hearing; Not huge—5 inches or less Not a feature phone, obviously—I want the 
functionality of a smartphone, with options for tactile as well as audible 
cuing, since I am not a good audio learner
