The LG VX4650 is quite similar, with the addition of an analog mode.  The VX 
4750 is similar to the 4650 but adds the walkie-talkie feature first 
popularized by Nextel.

Some claim the 5200 is as accessible as the 4650.  The 4650 allows you to 
access the same functions as the 4500, except if I recall, adding a second 
number to an existing contact isn't quite as easy.

These phones don't talk through the whole menu process, and they don't 
support SMS.  Probably the first two levels of a menu are accessible, so for 
certain functions, you need a cheat-sheet or just memorize a couple key 
sequences.

I have manuals if you need them and there is a blind-lgvx-phones list, 
although I've unsubscribed because it is pretty busy with quite a few 
off-topic messages.
