[Electronics-Talk] Smartphone for visually impaired

[Santiago Velasquez]

Hi Leslie, how is the keyboard on the Priv?

I am thinking of getting the Key one for work specifically for the keyboard.

I can do navigation with the screen, I am mainly interested on the keyboard to be able to reply to emails, texts and make changes to some documents.

I just want the speed of typing that comes with a keyboard.

Thank you very much
Kind regards
Santi

The Blackberry KeyOne came out a few months ago and has the latest version of Android. It costs around $549. The disadvantage to these phones it that they may or may not have arrow keys. The Priv doesn't,

Voiceover does have keyboard commands. I can't remember the specs of the phone we were originally talking about, so I'm not sure whether it has a full keyboard or keypad.
