I didn't know about the email thing, but it sounds like a really 
good service to use if you're that kind of person. However, I 
tend to learn better by actually doing stuff with the device. I 
found the iPhone very user friendly. I needed minimal help to get 
started.

 I don't think you will need to call ahead. Just ask the person 
you get
 at the Apple store to go into settings, general, accessibility, 
and
 turn voiceover on. I didn't call ahead when I got my iPhone at 
our
 local Verizon store. I just asked the guy to turn voiceover on 
for me.
 He didn't know how to do it but once I showed him how he was 
able to
 do it easily. It's pretty easy to get to. Hope this helps! Good 
luck!

 tern voice over so I can play with both. Will the Iphone work 
with Team
 moble?

 I don't know if it's my Southern accent or what, but Siri has a
 hard time understanding me. I rarely send lengthy emails from my
 phone--I do that with my Apex--but for texts or brief emails, I
 can type on the touch screen pretty accurately and quickly. Like
 many, I was reluctant to get an iPhone because the touch screen
 threw me off. But now, I believe that taking that leap of faith
 was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.

 Typing on the touch screen isn't too tricky for me, which is
 probably
 because it's set up like a standard QWERTY keyboard. I usually
 use the
 dictate feature or Siri, though.

 If it is a recent iPhone, normally pressing the physical home
 button
 3 times quickly will bring up VoiceOver.  If this doesn't work
 you
 will probably have to get sighted assistance, under settings,
 general, VoiceOver I think.

 Joshua,
 Your comment is of no use to the current topic, and is in fact
 very
 rude. Maybe she *gasp* wonder-of-wonders *likes* having a
 touchscreen.
 Just because you wouldn't do it, doesn't mean other people
 shouldn't.
 You have a tendency to make snarky remarks that are of no help
 to the
 person asking the question and personally, I find it very
 annoying.
 Please stop. As the saying goes, if you have nothing good to
 say,
 don't say anything at all.

 Gloria, I agree. I would rather use the iPhone with a couple of
 minor bugs than use another kind of phone. Like you, I was
 resistent to the whole touch screen thing, but when I went to
 camp at LCB and saw how efficient everyone was with them, I
 decided to get one. It is by far the most accessible and
 advanced
 phone out there.

 Hi,
 I have to say, I was one of the people who said I would neveer
 use a touch
 screen divice, but I am happy to say I have been using the
 I-phone for about
 two weeks or so and I have never been happier. I was nervous at
 the start,
 but with some practice I am having no problems. These things
 just
 take time.
 I love my I-phone and everything I can do with it. I do not see
 myself going
 to anything else.

 That's one reason why I don't like touch screen devices.
 I'd quit Apple altogether, and get a phone with ATNT, that has
 actual
 buttons.
 Blessings, Joshua

 Dear List:

 It's me Sophie again, and my iPhone has yet another weird
 problem. If I call someone on my iPhone, whenever I double tap
 the end button to hang up, my iPhone automatically starts
 playing
 music. The same thing happens if someone calls me and I don't
 answer. This has happened n a couple of very awkward places and
 I
 would appreciate any suggestions y'all might have before I call
 Apple.
 All the best,
 Sophie Trist
