My husband's is an HTC Desire with a qwerty keyboard; I haven't used it much
but it has speech on-board. Couldn't say more than that.

Hi. Any kind of traffic is welcome on this list as it's been dead for
some time now. I'm an iPhone 4S user and have to say that it is the
best accessible phone out there and all their product line such as the
iPad and iPod are accessible out of the box. I don't mind Apple being
a bit of a control freque as I realise that they take security very
seriously. I have to say that the Google search feature is slightly
better and more responsive than Siri. Having been to see Steve Nutt's
Android phone at Site Village this year has made me think about
Android a lot more but I would only consider getting one if there was
a handset that had a qwerty keypad on the surface of the device. A
device that looked like the HTC Cha Cha.
