[icon-discuss] Re: The Braille plus as a cell phone.

I personally just want a phone that is meant for blind people, that is built by blind people and that is easy to use by blind people. I don't really care if it is bigger than a normal phone or if I need to have a little Bluetooth piece to talk with it, just having a fast talking, 100% speaking, not confusing phone will be worth a huge plus in getting me to buy it. I think it would be also kind of cool if it had an external camera that could take pictures of a piece of paper then scan it in. I would hate it to actually be a part of the unit as this would make it bigger, but actually having a small external camera would be amazing. 
A screen that attached with USB or Bluetooth would be amazing too.
I personally don't care if the Orion is released in the winter, Just as long as it is the best PDA out there unquestionably with huge room for improvement. I'm really excited at the functions of the Orion that have already been said, having the same features as the Icon as well as some other functions... I just hope Levelstar can market the Orion a lot more heavily than they did with the Braille+ as I only find maybe 1 out of 100 people in the blind world who have even herd of it and only maybe 1 out of every 50 of those have even tried it. I'd suggest marketing to schools and TVIs as most TVIs are only aware of Humanware and Freedom Scientific... 
I'm excited to hear more about this amazing product!
Thanks,

Brandon Keith (Biggs)

In my case, I am not that excited about the phone. In fact, I can do without it. I have a Nokia and I am going to get an iPhone when it is time to renue my contract. So phone I think is not a necessety. Also, looking at a braille plus, I would look a bit folish with that thing in my ear. The orion sounds 
that it is going to be smaller, at least the one without braille. But the
one with 18 cell display is going to be larger and we will look weird with
something that big on our ears. But other than that, I am looking forward to 
it.

Hi,

I guess we all have our own hopes and thoughts about what is best for the
new device, and my main concern is with the cellphone.  My hope is that
the phone will be unlocked so that the customer can choose his or her own
carrier in order to get the best plan at the best deal possible. Having
said that, I have no idea if this is even conceivable on this hardware,
but it would seem to me to make sense.

Looking forward to all of the upcoming info about the product.
