Well I did just get one yesterday. I am no expert on using it yet or on accessibility on Android yet. Also having an IPhone, I'm just not impressed with what they call accessibility on Android yet. I do not think this phone has any accessibility issues that I am aware of that are unique to the phone relative to other android phones and I think the keyboard helps. It is a nice keyboard with marks on the f and j keys and that helps. I do not know where all of the keys are on it yet or how to do most of the symbols. I wish I could find a good reference. Just pressing keys only gets you so far, especially trying to figure out the function stuff. I absolutely wish there was a way to copy some text that the text to speech reads outside of mobile accessibility when you don't know what it said and copy it into an edit field within mobile accessibility just so you could examine what it says! I am disappointed android accessibility lets us down and won't even let you do that kind of work around as far as I know so far. Really trying to become excited about this, but it just truely is not refined accessibility at all outside of MA. Mobile accessibility is very nice for the functions it covers. One issue I have come across, and I hope someone can help, is that I absolutely can not get the mobile accessibility keyboard to appear in the list to select to use outside of Mobile Accessibility. I know you have to have the hardware keyboard on the phone closed to have it appear, but even then it just will not appear. There is swipe and multi touch. That is it. I go into settings and virtual keyboard and advanced and try to do it that way and it will not. I go into the phone settings and language and input or whatever the wording and you can drill down to select your keyboard and it is not there.
