Sandy and I are now using web phones.  I am receiving echurch mail on my 
phone but so far, I haven't been able to send a message to the listserv to 
reach the echurch-USA list.  There must be something I am doing wrong.  The 
web phones allow full web service to the internet and the screen reader 
software, along with a human quality voice, reads everything the phone can 
do including text messaging.  You can download files as well.  These phones, 
the HTC Ozone cell phone, we got through Sandy's cell phone plan where she 
works so the phones were 29 dollars and mine was free.  We tried the Talks 
software but then discovered the Mobile speak software works a million times 
better on these cell phones.  It also uses a qwerty full keyboard so you 
hunt and peck to type a message but the ozone phones have raised buttons 
instead of a flat surface and it is much easier for me to type in a message 
and to otherwise operate the phone.  You can also program the phone to run 
via voice recognition.  You can, in affect, program just about every feature 
to respond to your voice command.  I can also use it as a recording digital 
device.  I record what I want to say, attach it to the email recipient, and 
when they receive it on the other end, they can play my voice mail.  Also, 
all the voice mail message people may leave you on the cell phone voice mail 
system can be routed to your cell phone and stored.  That way you never have 
to dial your own cell phone number for voice messages left to you but rather 
you can just access them on the cell phone itself.  These are just a few 
features the cell phone and Mobile Speak screen reading software has 
available.  It is quite the learning curve for an old guy like me but it 
sure has been fun.  Minutes are not subtracted from the cell service when 
online with the internet so you can surf to your heart's content.  The 
Mobile speak software will work on dozens, literally, dozens of other cell 
phones.  This just happened to be the only phone Verizon had on which the 
Mobile Speaks software would work.  The software costs $275 per phone but 
that, in and of itself, is cheap compared to the 700 and 900 and 1,000 
dollars plus for other software.  I've yet to have experienced a lock up 
with the software.  Sandy has a blue tooth set up on her phone, too. 
Anyhow, that's my report.

Phil.
