Judy, about this Wine Smart, is it a smart phone with a T9 dial? Can the screen
be navigated from the keyboard? Can you get on Google? Thanks.
Best from,
Carolyn

Hi,
I use my phone for the things you mentioned and have wondered if I'm not
abusing the thing for using it so much. I use both the Wine Smart, and Galaxy
S8, and have the ability to switch between them when it suits.

I’ve had iPhones for 8 years now and it only took me a couple of days to get
comfortable with the touch screen. However, I am completely in the Apple
ecosystem having a MacBook Air and all the other computers in the house being
Macs. I also teach Mac OS and iOS here in France.
My iPhone is my library, my Gps, my barcode reader, my OCR, and many more
things. However, if I had to choose just one device to help me overcome the
problems of being totally blind, that device would be my optacon, and in
particular, my R1D.
Cheers,
Anne

One of my complaints with the iPhone is that I could not dial 1 for English,
as an example, when I made a call that required number input. With my feature
phone with actual keys, that is not a problem. It just seems to me that
people put up with too much hassle, which must be worth it to most people,
but not to me. I am not a one to tolerate unnecessary problems.
Best from,
Carolyn
