[nfbcs] accessible cell phones

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Hi all,
I may be in the market for a new cell phone in the next couple months. I 
was wondering what people know about the accessibility of the Android 
operating system, if it is even really useable? Can people suggest some 
general models, software versions, etc? In order to avoid sparking the 
Apple debate, I'll just say up front I'm almost certainly not interested 
in considering the iphone for design philosophy reasons and leave it at 
that. I have an old Windows smart phone that I use almost none of the 
abilities of just because a lot of the stuff doesn't work well or 
because I am not patient enough to deal with the clunky interface. I may 
be interested in using Android and writing some software for it if it 
works for blind users. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
Joe
