thy're too expensive.

 Hello. I'm not an android user but I have a couple resources you 
can use.
 I know somewhere there is an android accessibility list. Search 
for eyes
 free. Eyes free also has a web site. I would be careful talking 
to sales
 reps. Many of them don't understand the accessibility features. 
I've
 personally found iPhones to be more blind friendly, but that's 
just my
 opinion. I hope this is somewhat helpful anyway.

 To ANSWER Call (on Android)
 Place a Finger on the TouchScreen until you HEAR TalkBack (TB) 
ANNOUCE
 "SLIDE Right To ANSWER" & simply Slide to the Right without 
lifting your
 Finger off the TouchScreen, and that should allow you to ANSWER 
providing
 you are using an Android running at Least Android KitKat (4.4 or 
Higher).

 To ENTER DIGITS while on a CALL, you must be on SpeakerPhone, 
and make
 sure the DialPad IS Checked to allow you to ENTER DIGITS, which 
you
 should HEAR a sound similar to the sound you HEAR when you ENTER 
DIGITS
 on a LandLine TelePhone.
 (simply LIFT your Finger when you HEAR the DIGIT you want to 
ENTER)

 As for scrolling, you simply move your Finger down to HEAR Items 
within
 the List, and use 2 Fingers...from the bottom of the TouchScreen 
and
 slowly Slide them upward to HEAR more items (if available within 
the
 List) This is quite difficult for me to do, but I haven't 
practiced it
 very much either.

 To LEARN TalkBack (TB) gestures
 Go into Recent Apps, Select Settings, then Select Accessibility, 
then
 Select TalkBack, then Scroll to the Bottom to Practice the 
various
 TalkBack Gestures IN the Android TalkBack Tutorial

 I HOPE this Helps

 If NOT, I suggest you GO to your Mobile Provider, and Work 
alongside a
 Tech/SalesPerson

 Dear Nabs-Sters,
 I just got a smartphone.  Yes, I swear I got a smartphone.  But 
there
 are a few quesftions I have about it:
 1. How do you answer a call with an android ZTE Prelude?  That's 
the one
 I got.
 2. How do you scroll down?
 3. How do you press numbers while the call is on and how do you 
know
 they're pressed?  I don't have a voicemail set up.
 Thank you all, and email me off list if you'd like.
