[nabs-l] cell phone suggestions

[Rob Lambert]

The Renoun is NOT a smartphone - it is just a conventional clamshell. I can't speak to accessibility cuz mainstream reviews don't address it, and I have not seen the phone in person.

Jessica,

Perfect timing.  I just bought a new cell phone today.  After I checked out
several phones and after my technology-minded significant other talked to
Verizon for an hour, I bought the Samsong Renound.  It has all the
capabilities you listed, and the keypad is very tactile.
I've only played around with it for about half an hour, and I already can
make calls and send text messages.

The LG NV2 is also accessible and has a mini keyboard, but the number keypad
is more difficult to navigate and is on the outside of the phone, which
means it should be kept in a case.  In addition, the keyboard is so small
that I think it would take longer to type in text messages with it than with
the number pad, at least for a blind person.

Hope that helps.

Priscilla

Hi everyone. Sorry for this being off-topic, but I would appreciate 
your help. I need to get a new cell phone because the one I currently 
have is basically not working too well any more. I have the Owasys 22C 
from Capital Accessibility with a t-mobile plan. I understand Verizon 
wireless makes accessible cell phones, but I am not sure what phone to 
buy. I want a phone that lets you add contacts, has talking caller ID, 
etc. Please let me know what cell phone would be good for me, thank you
very much.
