[nabs-l] accessible phones

Wed Sep 12 20:43:32 UTC 2012

Tyler, while I do not use the braille overlay with my iPhone and 
find it easier to just use it with VO, I agree with Robert. There 
is nothing wrong with looking blind. Besides, if you say that 
braille overlays make one look blind, you can say the same of a 
phone that talks or a braille notetaker, both of which I use and 
am not ashamed of.

Thanks for the psychological diagnosis. I've accepted my 
blindness and
all that. Yes, they make you look blind. You have a normal phone 
with a
bunch of dots on the screen and if anyone sighted wants to turn 
off
voiceover and use it, it's kind of weird.

 choice if he or she wants to use it.  Also, if one fills that 
something
 makes them look blind then they are not yet ready to except 
their blindness.

 I wanted to avoid jumping on the band wagon, but I love it.
 As an alternative, you can get talkx or uh, the other one on a 
nokia
 phone, or you can get an android. They're nice, but they've got 
a lot
 of issues. IPhone is the most advanced in terms of 
accessibility, IMO.
 And you don't need braille overlays, they just get in the way 
and make
 you look well, blind.

 I've never heard of it.
 Just get the IFone, with the Braille overlay, and you'll be 
fine.
 Blessings, Joshua

 Hi all,
 I am checking out phones. Has anyone heard of the LG My Touch Q? 
If
 so, is it accessible? I talked to the carrier which is Teen 
Mobil,
 but I have had situations in which the carrier will say 
something is
 accessible or has speech capabilities and they do not and vice 
versa.
 Thanks for any help you can give.
 Gloria
