[Nfbmo] cell phones

[Julie McGinnity]

Thanks guys...  I have some vision, but I can't read print.  I have
enough to tell if something isn't working and to tell what screen I'm
on.  Stuff like that.  I would definitely need the speech features of
a phone to work well.  Randy, is the Galaxy a touch screen?  Just
curious.

I was told that there is a braille manual for the IPhone.  This would
also be nice if it's a good manual.  I love having directions in
braille!
