[bct] Re: Owasys 22C Cellular Phone for persons who are blind

I know someone who is involved with this project trying to get a carrier to pick it upl. I think the problem now is that no carrier is willing to subsidize the phone like they do with other modles/ manufacturers on the market. It seems like a great idea and if some carrier picks it up and doesn't charge a small load of cash for it, then it would be a wonderful thing.

I know this has nothing to do with the book port or other things that got this list going, but as we did have a podcast on the Verizon 4650 phone, I thought I would share this with the people on this list. I haven't tried it, I just read about it this morning. So, here you go.

The Owasys 22C
A cellular telephone like no other
The Owasys 22C provides:

List of 5 items (contains 1 nested list)
List of 5 items nesting level 1
• All the features you need to make and receive telephone calls using an easily understood speaking interface. We omitted the screen because a blind user
doesn't need one;

• Widely spaced buttons that are easily found and operated. All functions are controlled from our easy to use keypad. The Owasys 22C talks to you and not
the other way around.

• Talking Caller ID, Battery and signal strength, Phonebook, Call Logs, and Configuration menus. Every function speaks. There are no exceptions.

• Privacy! The 22C has a speaker phone, but only you can turn it on! Your actions and caller information will not be spoken aloud to anyone and everyone
within earshot unless you turn our loudspeaker on.

• The Owasys 22C is ready to use out of the box. There are no forms to fill out and submit, no software to download and install, no special cards to insert,and
you won't need to study our manual before you can use it. You won't need assistance setting the 22C up for use, because it was developed and manufactured
expressly for you, the blind user.
