hi there right then with the android i think maybe you can get some very old
phones with a keyboard but i think i may be correct in saying that all the
newer phones are all touch screens. they work with talkback which is the
screenreader. maybe someone can correct me on this the big difficulty as well
with the samsung phones is if the phone locks up you need sighted help to get
it back speaking again. with tellorian this is not the case. yes good look with
your hunting it is difficult i know we have the choice but it's getting it
right for you the individual that counts.
