[nabs-l] verizon phones

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Amy,

Just FYI (for Ashley mainly,) you don't need to retrofit the 
Haven with MobileSpeak if you don't want to, as the phone already 
comes with speech.  But a lot of people like MobileSpeak, because 
(I think) it uses Eloquence, which is the same speech used for 
JAWS.  I may be confused here; is Mobile Speak the one that uses 
Eloquence and Talks uses DecTalk, or the other way around? 
Thanks!

Chris

Hello Ashley,

As to your response on which phone to purchase from Verizon which 
is also accessible for your needs and, it doesn't have internet 
access is the one that I have purchased from Verizon.

It's called the Samsung haven.  And, I really like it! All of the 
features are voice activated but, I also have a xd card in it 
which has mobile speak too! Anyway, I hope this information is 
helpful to you.  Take care and, good luck in finding your 
accessible phone from Verizon.


Hugs,
amy

Hi all,

Phone models seem to go in and out quickly.  I’m planning to 
get a verizon phone; I would prefer that it talk the menus and 
read text messages.  but I don’t care for one with the internet 
and do not want an I phone.
I’d like one with a calendar, alarm, and voice recorder feature 
if possible.

So any ideas? I know a few friends have the NV2 and NV3, but I 
don’t know if they still are produced.

What accessible phones do you have and like?

Thanks.
Ashley
