HI, A bit off topic, but, since I've seen people ask about cell phones on this list, I wanted to quickly share that I just got the new Samsumg Haven cell phone from Verizon and am quite impressed with the out-of-the-box accessibility. It's just a basic cell phone that is free with a two year contract (or, I think, about $40 without a contract). So far, I've found pretty much everything is accessible. It's reading all the menus, reads text messages I get and so forth. I've never had a talking cell phone, so I don't know how it compares to using Mobile Speaks or Talks but so far I can do everything. Haven't tried setting an alarm or putting an event on the calendar, as I rarely do this, but it's working well on everything else. The only menu that did not read aloud was a cheat sheet of the icons that appear on the screen. Since I'm also low vision, I liked that I can change the color scheme to gold letters on a dark blue background.
Hope this is helpful to some of you. Robin Email Classification: KeyCorp Public </pre> This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
