Also, maybe one of the newer Blackberries with their own Screen reading
software.

"First of all:  what is work? 
Work is of two kinds:
  first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface
relatively to other such matter;
 second, telling other people to do so.
  The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and
highly paid."
From The collection of essays "In Praise of Idleness" by Bertrand Russell

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] on the search for a smart phone with the traditional
keypad

You can still purchase Symbian based phones, with a standard phone keypad,
and run the Talks or MobileSpeak screen reader on it.  Much less costly than
the KNFB Reader.

They would be able to do everything on the phone that they wanted to do,
including reading and adding contacts, texting, emailing, calendar, even web
browsing.
