[nabs-l] Phones with a fully accessible calender

[Katie Wang]

Hi Justin,
Unfortunately, most smart phones these days feature a touch screen, so
you might have to get used to that interface if you want something
more sophisticated than the Haven. I currently have a Nokia Symbian
phone with Mobile Speaks, which is a third-party screen reader, but as
you might have heard Nokia has discontinued that line of products. I'm
not a big fan of touch screens either but have resigned myself to the
fact that I will have to get an Iphone at some point in the future--
While it does come with a steep learning curve, I know plenty of blind
people who love their Apple devices and am confident that you can
master the technique too with some practice. Just my thoughts!
Katie
