Remember to compare apples to apples. This is a 18 cell braille note
taker and not just a smart phone. A 14 cell braille display from Freedom
Scientific costs $1300, so an 18 cell display would cost a bit more.
Combine a 18 cell braille display with a unlocked smart phone and
although the Braille Plus 18 still costs a bit more, the difference in
price is much less than just comparing an iPhone to a Braille Plus 18,
which costs $3600.

Ok, go to American Printing House for the Blind, www.aph.org and check out
their braille android phone. I believe the cost is around $4000. It is a phone
specifically developed for the blind. It's specific functions work well for the
blind. You have your wish answered. Enjoy your $4000 Android phone.

This is very frustrating. Hordes of emails have circulated with the many
shortcomings of IOS7. Many bugss and shortcomings that have appeared in ver 7
that were not in IOS6.
It becomes very frustrating when even the basic phone functions are compromised.
1. Ending calls is a pain. Countless times I thought I had ended the call but
it was active. This has lead to embarrassing situations and also a drain on my
wallet due to large long distance call charges.
2. When I get phone numbers in a text message, I should be able to call or
message or store the number with a tap. No! I could do it with my 6 year old
Nokia better.
3. Entering data in a web form has become a nightmare. With my previous phones
running Talks I could do much better. I pay 10 times to get a iphone and guess
what? I can do less with it! Very frustrating.
This list could go on and on. . . . New models will launch, new IOS versions
will roll out. . . But the shortcomings and bugs will stick with us. Technology
for the sake of technology. But no technology for the visually challenged. Wish
someone would charge more but make a phone that works. With IOS7 AND IPHONE all
one can do is pull ones hair out, welcome to a bald world populated with buggy
iphones!
