[Trainer-talk] anybody using the droid ascend?

[Matt Diemert]

I'm currently using the Motorola droid.
I've also used the droid 2 and ally from VZW. 
The keyboard on the ally was much better, however, the speed was very slow. 
The major disadvantage to droid as I see it, is lack of navigation access
when editing or reading materials. I mean by that that you cannot use your
arrows to navigate an email you typed character by character or word by
word. 
Also, the internet experience is very poor to say the least. 
My wife bought me an iPad for Christmas, and I'm amazed at the difference in
actual access. 


Warm Regards,

It's not horrible.
I've owned a droid now since july,
I'd agree that its not on par with the offering from apple, but it's a step
up from the LG devices.
The eyes free project from Google produces talk back as a screen reader you

I have heard that there are apps that will make the droid phones accessible.

By chance is there anyone on list who has any experience and/or comments?
Thanks.
