[nfb-talk] huckster room at national con--ODIN phone

[Dick and Donna Walker]

Hello List-My husband was interested in these phones, especially the Odin
VI.  We did contact them about the phone.  They have reasonable rates, etc.
and the phone is getting good reviews.  However, Odin wireless pretty much
uses T-Mobile's network exclusively.  They will not sell the phones unlocked
and T-Mobile coverage in Arkansas is VERY poor at best.  I wish they would
have hooked up with a carrier that has better coverage nationwide.  He is
still very interested in the phone but it would be of little use to him if
you can't get decent service on it.

I second that suggestion, a very informative article.  This company, Odin,
seems to especially want to make accessible smart phones, and they do seem
to be targeting blind folks who want a basic phone, without all the bells
and whistles and tapping and sliding and rotating motions of the iPhone. 
Apparently these phones are quite popular with blind people in Europe.

Josh,

The Odin phone is a specialized smartphone built for the blind, but with a
simpler interface than the iPhone or Android phones. It was developed by a
company here in Maryland whose CEO spoke at our state convention last year. 
I think it was made to appeal to seniors and other blind people who do not
want the learning curve associated with touch screen phones. I haven't had
the opportunity to play with this phone and have no opinion on it. For more
information please read the May Monitor article.
