    More? Oh boy! Whatever do you mean? Do you think if I bought a cover it 
would help? IDK. I'm new at this.

There is a lot more to it than that.

    I hope so because when it says double tap to open, it's like I have to 
force my fingers to shake semi-violent and hope it hits thethe app I want.
Someone on one of the other mailing lists sent me a recording of him using 
his I Phone. He made it sound so easy. Like once you hit a number on the 
keypad and it's one you want, then just touch anywhere else on the screen.
He said Voice Over is only concerned with the last thing you touched.

I'm slowly getting it. LOL! I have shaky wrists that cause my fingers to 
shake. So it's a little harder for me. Anyway. My uncle is an Apple expert 
and he lives close by. Thank God.  He turned on Voice Over for me. I just 
moved from Elgin to Quincy.

Nicole, I hope the store set Voiceover for you through settings, general and 
accessibility. When the phone freezes, sometimes it's best to shut down 
altogether with the power button which is on the top right. You have to hold 
it down for several seconds. You also hold it down for a few seconds to 
power back up and it takes a good minute in my experience for the phone to 
power back up again. The home key which is the round one at the bottom of 
the phone is your go to key for lots of things. I made you an offer of 
someone to help you. And yes, a lot of us who are totally blind use and love 
the phone. It does take work at first.
Sharon

I can’t figure out how to unlock the screen. It’s stuck on the camera. My 
son tells me the screen is gray. All it does is click at me. Which button is 
the power button? Ugh! I’m so lost. I just got the phone today, for my 
birthday. Can all blind individuals use one?
