[Electronics-Talk] An Introduction and Question

[Amanda Lee]

While this may be true for some, please keep in mind that some do have
finger coordination and/or other issues with finger sensitivity.

It's not always about resistance to learning or not wanting to learn.  


Having taught a wide range of persons from sighted to blind and low vision,
I've experienced it all ... trust me.

some people want to learn, others don't. The ones who want to learn willing
to try and learn the ones who don't, you could talk till you're blue in the
face give them something that's really easy to learn and they refused to
learn. All part of just wanting attention.

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.
