[nabs-l] accessible phones

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Gloria:
If you want a keyboard, I bought the boxwave buddy bluetooth keyboard. 
I've seen people lugging around desktop-sized bluetooth keyboards, and 
that'd be irritating. This keyboard snaps to the bottom of your IPhone 
and it slides out, which is really nice. It makes the phone a bit 
thicker, and you have to charge the keyboard along with the phone, but 
it's not to bad.
