[nabs-l] accessible phones

[Robin]

Hello,

Gloria c.,

If you can WAIT, it might be in your best benefit to SEE which SMART 
Phone Platform has the easiest operating system for you. I believe 
Windows Phone 8 will ADD out of the Box ACCESSIBILITY in the form of 
a Screen Reader (most likely Narrator). It has been widely rumored 
that Android has vastly IMPROVED its own out of the Box Screen Reader 
for Android Phones. OtherWise, you can join the masses of "The 
BLIND", who have adopted Apple's iPhone with its own out of the Box 
Screen Reader VoiceOver.

However, if you want a Basic Phone without a DATA Plan, there are 
usually a couple of LG Phones, which offer some out of the Box 
ACCESSIBLE FEATURES, but NOT as much as provided on the Apple iPhone 
at this time. The only Basic Phone, which offers the most out of the 
Box accessible features is the Samsung Haven, which has been 
discontinued and was only offered on Verizon Wireless's Network.

I SUGGEST you inquire to your Mobile Phone Carrier to determine, 
which Phones are offered to people with visual impairment.
