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

I don't take it personally. But damn, this seems like an excellent build into a wheelchair device. Sucks when you can't find one that was designed for the clumsy touch, or voice activated. My 12 yld niece has a cell phone. I don't think I'm out of line when I say cell phone manufactures should voluntarily use a few bux from their kazillion dollar profit to make a cell phone for contemptible ne'er-do-wells like, myself. While they are at it,, it is time the deaf got a cell phone too. And blind people don't deserve cut rates.   john   In a message dated 7/5/2005 9:54:02 P.M.

Really.  Remember when cell phones were carried in the back of a trailer, as they were so large and heavy.  Look at them now. Consumers demand that the cell phones be smaller, with more features.  Try not to take it personal, its just a mission.

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 >>
