[Electronics-Talk] perfect cell phone

[James Aldrich]

Hi Sandra,

I would say you have a tall order since I think a button smart phone doesn't exist since the touch screen is king!  I would google jitter bug and see what they claim to have for smart phones.  One can speak commands but I don't know whether they have a TTS to read back information.  I wish you the best in your search!
