[Trainer-Talk] Move from iPhone to Android - Help?

[New Vision Tech Center]

Thanks Scott, I'll have to check but I think years ago I was a member of 
the list... I forgot about it, an thought it was more a developer 
thing... but that might have been in the early days. Thanks again.

I'm an AT trainer but also a low-vision user. I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 5x, since its a vanilla Google experience; an I'm thinking I'm less likely to deal with inaccessible cruft from a manufacturer or carrier.
