Hi Paula In the low end range, I'd recommend the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro. It has a qwerty keyboard and reasonable processing speed. I have tested it out for Samsung to gage how accessible it is.
Also, you might want to suggest the Samsung I5510, also known as the Samsung Callisto. Though it is betting on a somewhat smaller screen with a lower WQVGA resolution, downgraded camera and processor, it comes with a full hardware QWERTY keyboard. I haven't tested this phone myself since it is not available for the South African market yet. The other samsungs, like the galaxy ace, galaxy mini and galaxy gio is definitely not accessible. the virtual keyboards work kind of but, no navigational trackpad or d-pad is available. I've tried to activate the one in TalkBack but, had no luck there. If money is not a concern, check out the galaxy note and the galaxy s II, preferably wait for ICS. Hope this helps.

This is for someone who will be using speech and I will recommend MA as that is the one I have found works best. I know models differ around the world and we perhaps cannot get some of the ones here in New Zealand that are available elsewhere but what would people recommend? I have the Samsung Galaxy with a qwerty keyboard but I don't think we can get that one now. Are the ones with no qwerty usable too? I tried to activate the virtual keyboard on mine so I could have a play but I couldn't get it to work. Should I be able to bring up a virtual keyboard and if so, how would I do it? Am I right in telling the person it needs to be 2.1 or above and I should recommend it have a trackball and physical buttons for home and back? Any advice welcome including models as I can look and see if they are available here. Cheers Paula. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ ma_mailing mailing list [email protected] http://list.codefactory.cat/mailman/listinfo/codefactory.cat.ma_mailing
