Hi Richard,

I would have to agree with Anthony.  I am totally blind and have been using
my IPhone since Valentines Day with excellent results.

Good luck and very 73.

Hello;
I think this was mentioned previously but never saw a reply.  Any =
totally blind folks out there using the dreaded i-phone?  My nephew just =
got a new improved one so I took a look.  Never got to the point that I =
could even make a call never mind txting or the internet.  Apparently =
someone sells a braille overlay for the screen which may or may not =
help.  There must be some secret that neither of us knew about.  Never =
did figure out how to "flick" as opposed to tap or double tap.
I hate buying a phone and buying a speech program which will certainly =
require periodic updating.  This sounded ideal even if I didn't use half =
of the features and there are folks that left me feeling it was very =
usable.  I sure didn't feel it was easily used after seeing one.
If anyone has some words of wisdom feel free to reply off list.
Richard
