[bcab] Re: Mobile Phones

Hi Jim,
A basic phone these days is a tricky one. They are all getting quite sophisticated. 

Of the basics, they all have their own layouts.
Ericcsson, Samsung and Nokia all have their own ways of organising things. Whatever you get, stick with the same make in future if you don't want the headache. 

The old Nokia 3300 was a fantastic phone but no speech support.
If you want to check out the phones, there's a couple of links to the phones supported by speech applications. On these sites you can find details about the phones that are compatible. If you find something you like, the support is pretty good if you ask nicely. Once you've found something you like the sound of, you can pop into a phone dealership and ask to try them out. 

Best of luck, sorry I don't know of a simple phone like you are looking for.

Hi List,

Ok, I've managed to live without a mobile phone up till now
but can't fight the inevitable any longer.

Obviously I will need speech access but I don't want all the
bells and whistles such as Internet access and camera at
present, I may think about a more sophisticated phone later.
Right now, I just want to be able to phone or tedxt someone.
Also, the phone must have a reasonably spaced keypad as my
touch is not that good.

Any advice most welcome.

Jim Williams
