First, Pat, congradulations on getting your new iPhone. I have an iPod Touch
and they are very similar. The absolute best advice I can give you for
learning to use your iPhone is to purchase a book from National Braille
Press entitled Getting Started With The iPhone by Anna Dresner and Dean
Martineau. The book is $18 and comes in several formats for your
convenience. You can obtain the book from www.braille.com
You can find several tutorials on using the iPhone or iPod Touch from
www.blindcooltech.com but none of them takes you from step 1 to where you
want to be. The book I mentioned does exactly that.

Subject: [accesscomp] I Phones Tutorials
HelloList,
Seems I am in a bind.. I got an I Phone for my birthday, and the user guide
is supposed to be in it I was told.. I can't find it, think it wassupposed
to be in utilities or in SAfari, the web browser one.. I am not sure how jto
tap or swipe to find everything either, I did find kthe folder inutilities
but it only read clock, calculator and so on, didn'thear any user guide in
there, and the Safari said to choose ATTnetwork for Y FI and was told that
could wait a little while.. To just learn to swipe and tap and read the user
guide first, but can'tfind it or how to get to it, does anyone have any
tutorial instructions for how to get ot the user guide.. My son sort of went
over the taps and swipes but my little grandson was not feeling well and
they had to get home with him.. He kept wanting my attention also and it was
hard for me to foucs on what he was telling me as far as how jto find the
user guide, but thinkhe said it was in the SAfari and to bypass the ATT
network, where it said to choose tht and to just use the cancel button but
can't get past the cancel button, don't know how to get past that if that is
where it is, but also heardhim say something about utilitie s and got into
folder and it wasn't in it.. She also tried to show me some things but my
grandson was just all over the place and hard for her to keep him where I
could concentrate much, mys on doesn't want me to call him about it that
much and ask him a lot of questions, he seemed to think I could learn it on
my own and he has a vision problem also but she is there to get him started
when my grandson is asleep, too and I am by myself here.. So I m limited to
what I can absorb all at one time when someone is telling me jsomething or
showing me somehting when my attention is compromised like it was Saturday
evening.. Can anyone help me with some instructions for the I Phone basic
user guide and so on, I did learn to tap twice to open something and where
the home key is and the keyboard lock button and the mute button on the side
and so on and how to swipe and go through the things like mail and then tap
once to open but can't get the cancel button in the ATT network to do
anything wher eit says to vhoose ATT network, he said I would have jto get
number off ruter and get tht logged in to the I Phone, which I will have to
get someone to do for me, and we did put a password in it, and I am not sure
jif that is for the finding of the user guide or what, as the numbers or
reading on the screen and I would have to just learn to touch them by
practice also and tht would be doable but would take a lot of practice,
buthe does that and he has avision problem, but o get it logged in he said I
would have to get someone to do that probably but he said I had some jtime
to do that, or a little time anyway, so can anyone give me some advice on
how to find the user guide for right now at least or some type jof
instructions? The ATT sotre where we got it didn't seem to do anything as my
son told the man who sold the phone to him for me that jthey could help me
with it and not sure jif he would have done all this or not, but my son said
I would have to have the number off my router and log it in, so could not
have done that at the store yesterday anyway.. Help! Thanks in advance, Pat
Dallas
