Hi everyone, do these phones offer a spoken menu and if so will it work with all of the functipons? I have a friend who has tried the I phone a couple of times, and has not liked it because of the touch screen. I have told him about the capability of using a BlueTooth keyboard, but he prefers a more traditional phone. The phone he has right now allows him to text and go on YouTube and talking caller ID and that is about it.

I have looked for cheap flip phones which didn't require service contracts but haven't had much luck. Some states offer a free phone to blind people but not Illinois. I wouldn't mind paying for something if it wasn't too expensive. There used to be a really simple talking phone called the Owasys. It was from Spain and then the product appeared and disappeared.

They use to have the 3g version of that phone, now they have the 4g version, and if it is like the 3g version of the Dura xv, the audio is absolutely, fantastic, it is the best cell phone I have ever heard, no muffled speech, the audio is extremely, fantastic! I'll be getting one of those when I get my next flip phone. She said they have had that version of the Dura xv there for about a year.
