Alot of folks on here like their voice-activated cell phones but I've tried
the top of the market before buying and found that the technology isn't good
enough yet for TOTALLY HANDS FREE.
We'd make up an expensive part of their customer base so that mysterious ole God
only knows why they don't jump on considering us as prime consumers. Even if they have to USE US to
brag to the competition on TV adds.
The TV ad 'phone service wars' are as big s the 'cola wars'.

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.

I just got done with Cingular Wireless in the Midwest. I finally tried one
of my trump
examples and asked, "Could Christopher Reeve use this phone or any phone
Cingular Wireless sells?" NO, was the reply. Christopher Reeve is dead and
Cingular Wireless isn't THAT good.
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.
