Dear All,
    I apologize in advance if this message is off-topic for a couple of the lists, but it is blindness-related, so it is of general interest to all on these lists. I read an article in the Matilda Ziegler Magazine about the Samsung Haven. According to the author, this phone, available through Verizon Wireless is completely accessible. I have contacted Verizon and was told that they have another Samsung  phone - the Gusto - that comes loaded off the shelf with Nuance speech. Does anyone know if this phone is as accessible as the Haven? Merry and I want to purchase one and would like to know if this is an option. Does the Nuance speech make it accessible or are does it depend upon the phone itself?
    Apparently, the only differences between the two phones is their size. the Haven is slightly larger and, as the result, has larger keys. I was told that the Gusto is about the size of the phone I am currently using. Furthermore, the Haven costs $40 and although the Gusto costs $50, it has a $50 mail-in rebate making it virtually free. any product review would be greatly appreciated!

fraternally yours,
Marion
