Well, I don't think they intentionally made the phone unusable - I suspect
the mold in the factory was just off some so the dot was placed
incorrectly. I'm not even sure that ALL LGX5300 model cell phones have
this same issue. Thanks for the offer of help with filing a complaint
though.

Re: [VICUG-L] Unuseable Dot on the 5 Key on the LGX5300 Cell Phone
Hi Sherry Wells,
I saw your concern about the dot on the 5 key on the LGX5300 cell phone.
This looks like an informal complaint that should go to the FCC who may be
able to get you a phone with better accessibility and usability. LG should
have made this cell phone device more accessible and usable to begin with.
If you would like me to help you file such an informal complaint at the
FCC, please let me know. I would be glad to help you.

Hi List,
Sorry to the person to whom I replied instead of sending my email to the
whole list. I neglected to say in my original email that I had considered
attaching a dot to the 5 key but was afraid it would interfere with the
proper closing of the phone. I have a Braille labeler and tried a dot
made with that and it seemed too tall. I wil try and buy some of those
dots mentioned in other responses. My husband thinks a dot of apoxy may
work so I may go that route. I am still curious if all LGX5300s have the
unusable dot or not. Lastly, I found much to my surprise that the sighted
people to whom I mentioned this had no idea that there was a dot on the 5
key of any phone!
Thanks again,
Sherry Wells
