Hi John I use the iPhone 5, having upgraded from the Nokia C5 about seven months ago. Now I have done it, I am glad as I use the iPhone for calls, text messages, apps, and now Twitter as well. But my son was here last week for our wedding, and he had his Galaxy S2 with him. I hadn't played around with one of these before, so I asked him to turn Talkback on so we could mess around with it for a while. This is just a personal view, but I prefer iOS simply because I have got used to it. But the two things I liked about Ian's Galaxy S2 were the sound and the Google voice. I think the speech on Android is excellent, and more preferable to Daniel I have to say. Navigating these things is similar, give or take a few gestures. While the S2 is probably no longer available, it was good to have a play with a Galaxy model. Good luck.

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.
