[macvoiceover] Re: terminating calls on the iphone

The included headset is not *required* to use the IPhone. it is just easier to answer and end calls when you use it than not. With practice, I've gotten better at it but I don't get enough calls to really practice. I can tell you though that ending a call can be a real drag. What I do is get the speaker to activate, find the end call and then I can double tap.

Hi all,
As one who doesn't yet have an iphone, the problem is this issue of requiring a headset. I don't *want to *have to wear a head set to use this phone. Apple really needs to address this. I was really hot about getting the iphone, now I'm pulling back. If I can't answer and end a call unless I'm wearing headphones, this isn't a phone I'm ever going to buy. 
Best,
Donna

I thought that the 3GS came with a ear bud set with a mic on the cord.
My
nokia phone has this on the ear buds and it works great for answering
and
ending calls as well as talking handsfree.

Maybe it is under the accessories page that apple has under
apple.com/accessibility.
I've not checked out this sight yet but maybe it might have suggestions 
for
accessibility devices that will make your IPhone experience even
better.

I don't want to put in those earbuds for every call or walk around
with the earbuds on all the time in case somebody calls me.
So if I can't hear voiceover say "answer" and "end call"
I  just double tap until it answers or hangs up. Usually, though not
always, it will eventually hang up
anyway. A couple of times I haven't managed to answer till the third or 
fourth ring but I haven't actually missed a call this way yet. What we
probably need is an independent way to turn up voiceover without having 
to
get it to talk to turn it up. I wonder: if you had a real headset with
the
microphone built on instead of just the earbuds, is there an auto-
answer
setting? Or could you get a headset with an answer button on the
headset?
These might be options if you didn't mind wearing a headset all the
time,
though I think I'd rather not do this.
