[Electronics-Talk] cell phones

[Arlene]

Rob, I wanted to tell you about a few of the flip phones since you mentioned 
that you're interested in the flip phones. The alcatel is okay and pretty 
much talks everything. it even has a radio in it which you listen to it on 
an ear phone. If you text the problem with the alcatel is that it doesn't 
speak the symbals, such as period, question mark, comma and so on. The 
alcatel has a female sounding voice. I heard the doro phone one time at 
target. The voice on that phone, the voice I heard was a male voice that 
sounded good. Not having that phone I don't know if it talks everything 
through menues on the phones, as other phones do. I've been thinking about 
buying the phone, I still really like the flip phones. The other flip phone 
that they have, that I can't think of the name of now, I don't think it has 
the text to speech. If you want, if you end up getting a phone from consumer 
cellular, it would be interesting to hear about what phone you get, and how 
it is. and on the chance you get the doro please let us know how that phone 
is.

Arlene
