No, mine isn't foldable, but comes with its own soft case, and is very slim and portable. The keys are very close together though if you're not used to it. I've had it for a while and it's only because I'm relying on it more to type for long stretches at a time that I've  grown used to it.
 There are many types of keyboards out there, you'll have to see what you feel most comfortable with while you're getting used to your phone.  I bought it to learn the iPod before I got my phone, so the phone was a breeze.

> I don't know if you figured out yet how to change your iPhone settings back, but if you haven't, hopefully we can help.  What got changed on your phone was your rotor setting. The gesture to move the rotor is to have your thumb and your index fingertips on the screen of your phone as if you were manipulating a wheel.  I'm not sure how limited your fingers are with manipulating things like this so you might need some assistance to move the rotor to the speech rate option.  Once you are on the speech rate option you can swipe down with one finger and slow your speech down. Swipe down to slow it down or up to increase the speed.  Hopefully this was helpful.  Congrats on sticking with your phone. I really like mine and am writing this reply on it using a bluetooth keyboard. I think this might be a good option for you as well.  You can perform most or all of the gestures from the keyboard, even the rotor.

>> My mom helped me figure out how to text on the I Phone. Yay! I’m so excited about that. In the process she was pressing buttons not know ing what she was doing and changed the speed or rate of Voice Over. Now it talks faster than I like. IDK and neither does she, how to change it back. Can someone help? If this makes a difference, it’s an I Phone 4. Thanks.
