Dear list, Below is a post from another list about a new cell phone that may
be a simpler and less expensive alternative for those of us who would like a
accessible cell phone that does text messaging without being a smart phone.
It has a built in voice output that is supposed to read all the menu items.
So obviously there is no need for the additional cost of cell phone screen
readers like Mobile speaks or Talks.I have a free upgrade from Verizon and
was considering a phone that many people who are blind use, the LG ENv 3,
but the Samsung haven seems less expensive. I would welcome any info on
anyone who has experience with this newly introduced phone. There is a link
to a podcast tutorial in the below message that tells about the Samsung
haven. I had a bit of trouble with the link, but I just shortened the Url
and found the link and used save target as when I found the link. But I may
be the only one who has a slight problem with the link to the tutorial.
Best, Ginnie

This phone is accessible out of the box.
Samsung Haven cell phone for Verizon Wireless
You can apparently purchase the phone for $39.95 with a 2 year contract.
It does not access the web or email, but text messaging is fully accessible.
