you may be right.
But the important question is: do we have any other option?
Do we have any qwerty phone?
The answer is no.
I also believe that touch screen is tough to use. But it is better to
accept the fact. And the fact is nokia is past. We all are thankfull
to nuance for providing accessibility. But now its time to accept
touch screen, as we do not have other choice.

yes, good question. In my opinion also for totally blinds it is very
difficult to type any sms or eMail on touch screen mobiles. Whithout
any buttens! So only way is use qwerty keyPad. If we practice more and
more also it is not possible to type speed or fast on touch screen
mobile. Oneday I tried my brother's nokia 500 handset to type whith
help of nokia screen reader but I typed only 1 word for minute. It is
a touch screen mobile.

Also I would like to know that in symbion system we are able to note
down

Hello. Actually what happens with the touch devices for the sighted
persons
is that they straightaway touch an icon and it gets activated. This
behaviour changes when a blind person uses the phone. A vi person has to
know what icon is under the finger. So the screen reader first announces
the
icon and then tapping or double tapping the icon for the second time
activates the same.
As far as the brand is concerned, everybody would have a different take
on
it. I personally like Indian ones better as I find the phones interface
less
tweaked and more accessible and convenient. I and many of my
acquaintances
are using karbon mobiles without any issues. Better idea is to go to the
market and see which model suits you the best. You can also read reviews
on
various sites. One such site is igyan. In.
