Hi Andy
If you have never felt the iPhone before, it is rectangular in shape, and
has a flat screen. There is one button near the bottom, and that's about it
on the front. I understand there is an overlay that allows you to feel the
various icons, but I have never used one, nor seen it for that matter.
If you have poor sensitivity, I suspect you might struggle, but I wouldn't
want to put you off as you might enjoy it. Effectively, you swipe your
finger along the screen and VoiceOver reads out the app icons you are
skimming. You do a double tap to open any of the apps you want to enter.
It is a very different concept from the N86, not impossible to learn, but
difficult if you have poor sensitivity.
Perhaps others could chip in. In your shoes, I might favour the C5 if you
want a new phone, and forego the advantage of all the apps if you struggle
with your fingers. There is an Apple keyboard, and several others that all
run under Bluetooth, but I am sure you wouldn't want to carry one of those
about with you, though some are very compact.
I appreciate your dilemma.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi both. Could you tell me if you think I could use the I phone 4S?
with my los of feeling in my fingers? I use the Nokia N86 at present as
the only phone I find accessible for me. but I would like to use some of
the aps that are about. I hope you don't mind me asking you both this
as you seem to be up on most things.
