Mo good post, you are correct and this is the problem with the I phone fan boys they can't see past that I agree that android does need a bit of customization but if you put in the work it's worth the time. and as you say the price point speaks for it's self. don't get anything as you have said except nexus or the moto-g at this time.

Hi.
That's why you shouldn't buy phones that have been modified by the
manufacturer. If you by one branded by google where they haven't skinned
the version of android, then the accessibility features should work as
expected. The same would probably apply if apple started allowing
manufacturers to skin ios, change home screens, etc. I would rather have
more choice of which device to buy and the option of customisation, than
be tied in to the closed walled garden world of ios where you can't even
retreive music you have backed up to a device because itunes thinks you
want to delete and resync your library! In summary, by a nexus device or
motorola device from google and you should be fine. A lot of people are
going to switch I think, because of the cost if nothing else! where is a
budget iphone less than £400 available brand new? Just my opinion...

I'm not really convinced with that mehtod of turning accessibility on. I
tried a friend/s Samsung S3 Mini from the setup screen and it didn't do
anything. I tried to get my daughter to turn Talkback on her S3 Mini and kept
on getting a error message about setting the right language when the phone was
purchased here in the UK. This is why people just don't trust the Android OS
because it doesn't do what it says on the tin I'm afraid. Another example is
when I bought a tablet and Talk back would read what I was touching and then it
would cut out and read nothing. I mean how bloody shabby is that. I'm honestly
trying to give Android the benefit of doubt put these incidents don't help a
jot. Large propotion of people turn to IOS because it's trusted and Voiceover
is well polished. Another words it does what it says on the tin. I would love
to promote Android as well as IOS but how
can I
recommend something that just never works as it should!

Hi Mo,
Turn it on, wait for about 20 seconds, then put two fingers on
the screen
slightly apart. After about four secs it will come up talking.
Job done.
All the best

Hello.
Its worth remembering that that price is for the 8GB version sim
free.
the 16GB version will set you back £160 sim free from phones 4
u. Steve,
how do you launch the accessible setup on this handset? it would be
fantastic if we can have full access to the device out of the box.
all the best,
Mo.

Richard,
The Moto G is already available in Phones4U at 119.00 with a
10 pounds top
up or 135 pounds Sim-Free.
We will hopefully be selling it from December, price to be
announced,
though
not quite that cheap. It wil l be sub-200 pounds though.
This is a very worthy phone for the price, has 4.3 out of
the box and will
have 4.4 Kitkat on it by January 2014.
I am told by Someone who already owns it that it is
accessible even to the
point of setting it up with no sight, so Motorola haven't
skinned it that
much either. It is almost a pure Google phone.
It is not 4G compatible, though for the price, this is to be
expected.
Well worth a look.
All the best
Steve

I think that Android is definately worthy of consideration
over Apple
at the moment, I have heard that Google are about to launch
a new
handset since taking over Motorola Mobile, called the Moto
G. And the
word is it will retail in the UK for £135, a fraction of the
cost of
an iPhone. I have no idea of how good the phone is though,
but will be
listening closely before upgrading from my iPhone 4s next year.
