Hi folks,
I do not want one truth be told. My goal is a phone with buttons, and
while some remain available from my provider, I may not end up with much
choice lol.
I understand from many using the iphone for dialing that it is slow and a
pain.
my questions are two, and very strict ones. do

Hi folks,
I know exactly what you mean since back in 2010 I was determined I was not
going to get a phone without buttons. However, now that I have my iPhone, there
is no way I'm going back. It just takes some getting used to. You can use the
onscreen keyboard for dialing.
Good luck with your choice.

I thought the same thing as you: I can't use a touch screen phone - I can't
feel the numbers, so if I can't hear, I can't do anything with it. However, two
things have helped me:
1. You can save everything to contacts on your phone, then just tell Siri to
call a contact name. You can also add
Hi,
I appreciate your take. This is just the sort of discussion I wished to
avoid as you are not me, your communicating patterns are not mine, and I
respect your choicewhich has absolute zero to do with my own.

Hello Karen and all:
In response to your question … can I do everything by voice? That question
cannot be answered given that everything is really a broad category. You are
able to dial numbers and send messages by voice. you can set reminders by
voice. however, even with a button phone you
I'm sorry if I came off as disrespectful. My point is that, based on your

Hello everyone. I agree with Gigi
I did,
I asked, if I have no other choice, i. e. cannot get one of the two
blackberry phones with buttons and spoken input that my provider also
offers, can I find an application
that strictly only and simply lets me dial the phone, or if for some rare
reason send a text message via voice.

Just to say that I'm going to try an Android tablet because I like learning new
things although I'd not give up my I mac or I phone. I just want Apple to
bring forward new ideas and I've hear that Android has improved a great deal.
I hope that Apple will do something new with the I phone

Hi Karen,
If you're still on fido, they have the lg google nexus 4. It's rather
iphoneish but it's half the price and does all the same things. You can buy a

I want one. Between that and a handsfree you could do
Hi, Have you tried a braille display? It sounds like braille would make your

By the by, Don't look now, but android accessibility is on the sergence. It

Good call, I forgot about that one. Vision aids in Toronto sells something

You could call them and ask.
