[nabs-l] Cell phone question

[Serena]

It depends what you're really looking for:  If you're looking for an actual 
cellphone that's accessible, there's a relatively new one from Verizon that 
has Talks or Mobile Speak on it.  If you simply want a device that you can 
use to do stuff like read print material, the KNFB Reader Mobile would be 
great, although really expensive!  You don't have to use the KNFB Reader 
Mobile as your cell and, a little hint for you about getting rehab to pay 
for the reader, don't tell them you might use it as a cell cuz they'll say 
you don't really need an accessible cell, although you might really want 
one.
