Hi;
If you can find a samsung haven its a great basic phone and 
everything talks.  I don't think its being made any longer but I 
have seen them used and some stores may have left overs.  I'm 
using mine with verizon but it works with a number of companies.
best of luck

 Hello,
CAN anyone recommend a very basic cell phone with voice 
recognition.  I want to use the basic phone with no texting etc.
I have ATT and do not want all the bells and whistles.
The only thing I would use on an iphone is the basic phone so do 
not really see a need for it.
I would like the phone to offer good signal strength.

 Russ, curious how you find that mini to be.  Especially where 
sound is
 concerned.  I have an ipod touch 4th gen and it's great but the 
speaker is
 not even as good as the IPhone speakers I've heard.  I've 
considered a mini
 but am still on the fence.  Lou

I was thinking about getting a Nexus 7 to see what android is 
like.  Two
 things stopped me from doing so.  The kindle app isn't 
accessible and it's
 going to be a while before bard mobile will be coming to 
android.  I ended
 up buying an ipad mini to go along with my ipod touch 5th 
generation.

 Hi John, learning to use a touch screen is deffinatly a learning 
curve,
 but once you get the hang of it, you will be glad you did!  I am 
still
 trying to talk Aimee into an I-phone but she hasn't taken the 
plunge yet!
