i got the comet from t-mobile for free, yeah, the touch screen keyboard aint the greatest, but i plan on tryin to obtain a bluetooth keyboard, now if i could get my phone to stop restarting when i turn of my headset that would be fantastic. I would take android over the iphone any day. developers can develope for free its open source need i say more? spiel is great. i prefer it over talkback but keep talkback on here because i prefer the talkback keyboard. its a pain at first to get used to it, but it can be done. i promise you It can be done

Blind Cool Tech Podcasts 1542 and 1550 cover all of the ins and outs of Androids. Each carrier does carry at least one choice with a keyboard, and yes, there are a ton of apps, free and otherwise, for the Android. If you are used to the IPhone, but the Android phone are quite accessible. Google does have an accessibility tab that will allow you to install Talkback, a screenreader that is pretty good from what I have observed. The problem there is not yet a really good accessible web browser unless you spend the $95 for the Mobile Accessibility suite from Code Factory. I personally don't have a phone, but an Android phone will be my next phone. Like you, Molly, I truly feel like I want and need a keyboard. I know the IPhone screen if fully accessible with Voice Over, but this is a personal preference for me. Hope this helped.

I love the I phone but I liked to text and email and I feel that I would need a key board at all times. I heard the droid at least some have key boards. Does the droid offer as many accessible apps as the I phone there are so many.
