Hi John.
You will obviously get a range of opinions for your question but all I would
say is that the iPhone is the best piece of access tech I've ever bought.
The touch screen is not to be feared and is very easy to use and also very
intuitive once over the initial learning curve.
There are many resources available to hehlp with that learning curve but I'm
more aware of the books and online resources for the iPhone rather than the
android platform.
My personal view, to be shot down, is that the Iphone is better for a new
starter as it simply works whereas my perception is that you have to work a
little harder with the android platform to get the same functionality.
Regards.
Kevin

Subject: [access-uk] Samsung Galaxy or I-Phone 5
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.
