[nabs-l] Phones with a fully accessible calender

[Ignasi Cambra]

aN Iphone is definitely your best choice. Just get used to the touch
screen. It's really not hard to use it. If you think about it, it
would be a lot harder for someone used to a touch screen to switch to
menus and buttons than for you to switch to a touch interface. It's
just natural, and at least for me it works very well. As for the
typing issue I sent a message to this list a few weeks ago about an
iPhone case that has a built-in keybord. It might really be useful for
some people...
