[nabs-l] lg 8350 cell phone

Wed Dec 9 01:35:49 UTC 2009

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Verizon offers the HTC Ozone with
Talks pre-installed.  It seems like a good deal if you don't care about
waiting to see the new features in the Mobile Speak 4.  Also, Domonique
mentioned the Droid, and so far as I can tell, the Android system is very
slowly becoming accessible but is nowhere near the VoiceOver functionality
one can find on the iPhone.  If you're willing to take a gamble, however, it
would go a long way toward minimizing the cost you would expect from having
to invest in something like Mobile Geo, as Google Maps would give you that
kind of GPS ability for free.  Me, I love Verizon, but when compared to
Sprint, the latter seems to be far more reasonable in terms of the monthly
bills.

Hey, i don't mean to be repetative, but i have the ENV3 and love it.
My friends have gotten used to telling me who they are when 
they text me; that is the one thing, it does not read who texts 
are from.

Any smart phone from Verizon however, requires that you pay for 
the Internet plan which i believe is an extra $29.99 a month. 
You could research and purchase a smart phone online or from 
someone else and install Talks or Mobile Speak depending on the 
phone and take it to the store to have your service switched to 
it,  without taking on the Internet fees, but if you do that, 
you might not have access to the newest phone out there, or the 
warrantee.

It financially made a lot more sense for me to just get the 
ENV3, but it definitely has its drawbacks.
