[Electronics-Talk] An Introduction and Question

[cheez at cox.net]

First, the learning curve for the iPhone is really overrated.
The hardest part is learning how to touch the screen.  After that, it's a piece of cake.

I've found that the phone reacts to other body parts, such as your elbow, nose, chin.
And mine reacted to a cold cup of soda when I leaned the phone against the cup accidentally.

And isn't the Blind Shell Phone a flip phone as well as a touch screen model?
Perhaps someone knows for sure.

Would anybody have any good suggestions on a good flip phone for the blind. I’ve tried to give my mother my old iPhones and she just can’t understand how to use it. No matter how hard I try to just tell her let’s start with the basics on just say using Siri and just make a phone call but she just doesn’t wanna touch it

Jen:

It depends if you want a simple flip phone, or a smart phone.I am sure there will be a debate among members about the advantages and disadvantages of each, but, in this day and age, I think a smart phone would be a good choice.

As for me, I think the iPhone has the best in accessibility, but that will probably be debated also.Hahahaha.

There will be more of a learning curve for a smart phone, but worth the challenge.Do you have access to any Apple stores?They have classes for blind users, at least, they do where I live.
