Hello list,

I must apologise in advance, I have seen many subject lines similar to mine
here, but at the time I had no interest in changing my phone and so did not
follow those threads.

I currently use  a Nokia C5, which has done me proud and I have really liked
it. However, I have now been told that the screen has just about had it and
I feel that it should be replaced.

Yes, I am aware that these can still be purchased and then TALKS can be
transferred across to it, which would cost something over £210. I also feel
that would be continuing on a dead line of technology and it might be better
to move to something more modern, although at a greater price.

It seems clear that the two outstanding competing offers at the moment are
the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the I-Phone 5.

I am a little uncomfortable about using a touch phone, is this really as
easy as it may appear from the e-mails on this list?

From a blind person's perspective, which is the better of the two to go for?

I cannot help here too much with my requirement as I currently do not have a
smart phone and therefore do not know which features I would want to use.

Clearly, I want to make phone calls and handle text messages.
Additionally it might be good to have proper access to the internet etc. 
I do not know if I would want to go as far as e=-mails, simply due to the
number I get daily from the various lists I am a member of which currently
get filtered off into various folders in Outlook on my PC.

Any personal experience in using such phones would be a good help for me in
deciding which way to go.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, John.
