Thanks a lot for the prompt response. Now I use a netbook on travel and a laptop otherwise at home to access the net. Haven't really tried internet on the phone as I am not comfortable typing on the phone keypad. But an I-phone I have read provides a great deal more of options. How is the latest series priced in India? More importantly how does the voice over functions? As good as talks or better? I am told Android offers lots of exciting features and android handsets aren't that expensive. But my understanding of android accessibility is very limited and the web reviews are mostly confusing.
