Thanks for that information. This might be the phone I am looking for
unless I decide to go with an iPhone. I have a cell phone I can use to
make calls without much trouble but it doesn't speak or have any
accessible features. the iPhone is beginning to interest me but I'm
not sure it's really what I need or want to use. I will be very
interested to see what people think about this sprint phone. John

Subject: [ATI] Great News, Sprint is releasing an accessible regular
phone!
Hurray for those who just want a good phone to be a good accessible
phone. This was in Blind Bargains today.
Those who have Verizon or Cricket, take heart. Often phones from
Sprint will either show up on the other networks, or be easily
flashed to that network.
3. Sprint Introduces the Kyocera Kona Accessible Flip Phone,
Available for Free with Contract
Even though there are accessible smart phones on the market, not
everyone is interested in having a phone that requires a data plan.
Starting on September 13th, Sprint will start selling the new Kyocera
Kona flip phone. The phone will sell for $50 with a two year
contract, with a $50 rebate that makes the phone free. The phone has
a built-in text to speech engine that reads aloud all menus, text
messages, incoming caller ID, notifications, and more. Users will be
able to change how fast the text to speech talks and the color
contrast on the screen. The keypad has shortcut keys for 911 and well
defined tactile buttons. There is also a web browser for users that
are interested in connecting to the web on their phones.
