[Nfbmo] cell phones

Julia,
    There is a 3rd party book available in a variety of  formats, including 
Braille, from the American Printing House for the  Blind.  It's called 
"Getting Started on the iPhone and iOS 5 for Blind  Users" by Anna Dressner.  I 
think it was $20 - Fred Olver turned me on to  it.  It's very comprehensive.

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!
