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!
