Dan, thanks for your comments as I have been doing a lot of research regarding this IPhone this weekend. I'm so close to getting one, and I'm also totally blind. Jim

I am totally blind and find it easy to use the touch screen. However, it did take a few weekends of intence practice. Once learning where things are on the screen and most common finger swipes, using the IPhone got easier. I was one of those who thought it crazy for a blind person to use a touch screen. You can buy a 4GS with bilt in voice over for 16 gigabyte $199.99. They now have two plans for the data package that is necessary for the voice over. The data packages are $15.00 or $25.00 per month. So Pamela, now you can just walk into a cell phone store and buy a phone with voice over like anyone else. It did feel really nice to finally have the same opportunite as most others shoppers in a cellphone store. It is true you don't get much of a choice as far as size or shape in regards to the Iphone but neither does anyone else. You can however choose types and colors of hard shell or soft cases. Pamela, If you choose to buy a Iphone I would be willing to help you learn how to do the basics including dialing a number, answering, hanging up, closing applications and texting. For that matter, I would be glad to help anyone over the phone. If you email me off list I can contact you via secondary phone like your home land line and work with our IPhones over a speaker phone etc. It isn't really that bad. but may appear such at first.
