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.

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
