Hello Anne.
Are you the Anne Robertson who used to work at the National
Library for the Blind in Manchester when you were at university?
If you are, then I shared an office with you.

Subject: [optacon-l] Re: smart phone comparisons and which is
best
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.
