Oh that's even more important that you have the money identifier on there.

>>>>> clicked
>>>>> in her head seeing talk back  in the phone, from earlier in the day 
>>>>> when
>>>>> another friend was talking about talkback in her s 3 phone. So being

>>>>> to see if the phone had speech in it she turned it on. She told me

>>>>> typing in a contact. Also just going through the menues everything

>>>>> The second thing we did that first night was I wrote a text message to

>>>>> nokia
>>>>> 6600 with mobile speaks 9 years ago. I don't know of any other blind

>>>>> any
>>>>> other phones, meaning especially these feature phones that too, have 
>>>>> speech
>>>>> in them, that maybe none of us know about right now. I'm also totally 
>>>>> blind.
>>>>> The gusto 3's buttons are well indented, you could tell the difference

>>>>> giving
>>>>> a try with one of those phones that has a keyboard included, or I 
>>>>> probably
>>>>> should say built into it, even if it's a smart phone. I've heard of

>>>>> guetting use to a touch screen, is if I could find someone to get 
>>>>> together
>>>>> with in person. Anyway, I just wanted to give you one little aspect of

>>>>> feel of the phones.
>>>>> Sandra, it would be interesting to hear about the phones you come

>>>>> that you get to see in the store especially the phones you like.
