[Carol Feazell]

I have had pretty good luck with Odin but there are some features that I would prefer it have but it works for simple me.

service to blind consumers:

Wow, lots of exclamation marks.

I think what Sandra is asking for is an overview of what phones are
out there for blind folks.

I don't know if an AT vendor has put something like this together.

I basically know that there's the iPhone, which is the gold standard
in accessible smart phones.

I know there's a plethora of Android based cell phones running talkback.

There's also a few self voicing phones, like the Haven.

This isn't so much an overview as a bit of a painting of the landscape.

Take Care,

Jim
