Re: [QUAD-L] Cell phones were not designed for Quads!

Try using the ADA to find out why handicapped people don't have any cell phones to chose from. Try mentioning that the damn remote controls are even worse. I'm not exaggerating, my brother is a normal person. his fingers are so large that most of these devices won't work for him. I've never seen a cell phone that even looked like I'd ever be able to use it. I've seen a few folks bounce test their tiny personal communicators. If they can make a cell phone for a slack jawed teenager who's only message is, "wassup?' then why cant they make them for handicapped.  One more degree of separation. Trust me, they don't want to have to consider us.   john   In a message dated 7/5/2005 7:44:47 P.M.

I tried something else.  I blindfolded the manager and pulled a $399 Motorola Cell Phone and handed it to the manager.  Show me in detail how it works, without removing the blindfold from your eyes.  You could see the frustration building up as they tried to show me and giggling associates just how this Moto worked.  "Let me look at the phone first, they said."   Nope, I replied.  You have been struck with blindness suddenly and must demo your $399 phone before I leave. "Balderdash" or something like that.  "Blind people don't need to have phones was another."  But it proved a point that I was trying to make.  It still didn't sink in. They really think that Quads can move their fingers.... Enought to push the buttons... but don't. I'm thinking that cell phone companies should hire more people like Quads as consumer advisers to the communications industry.
