Hi all, I have been reading this thread on talking cell phones and a
question has occurred to me.
What is the model of the talking phone offered by Cingular? I am a former
AT&T customer and am thinking of upgrading my phone. What is their version
of the talking phone? How long has it been around? Thanks.
Eric

Anthony,
ADA standards may not apply over seas, but the phones are built to
specs of the carriers, which means that the carriers themselves
aren't too clear on what constitutes accessibility.
