[Electronics-Talk] looking to find out information about a new lg flip phone for us cellular

[Arlene]

I called lg to see if  there were going to be any new flip phones like the lg exalt that was retired by verizon. It's a shame, since the set up is done so well with the read out text to speech, but after so much time phone models are retired to be replaced by others. Anyway I found out from lg, the only flip phone they are producing now for us celular is the wine 2 that came out very recently on april 24, 2020. So I wonder if anyone has explored this phone in the store or if anyone here on the list has the phone, or if you know anyone that has it. While I can search the phone and read about the specs and so on, that information won't tell me how the text to speech is set up. The other thing that is sad not many or not any of the flip phones aren't on demo in the store. You might get lucky if it's a really dummy phone of the phone that doesn't have the insides or if it does they have it where you can't connect it. It was great at one time you could have the sales person turn the speech on to explore the phone. Anyway today I'll call us cellular and see if some how the sales person can show me the phone. If it's anything like the exalt I would buy it. We did see the wine 1 when it came out about 2 or 3 years ago, so hopefully a lot of progress has been made, considering the situation with a number of text to speech on the flip phones, don't have it where the symbols talk. Thank you for any information, and I'll let you all know if I find out any more about it.
