Hi Mike, I can only say what I’ve heard around on the list, Moto G are good
phones I would also recommend the Nexus tablet if your going down that road.

Thanks for all your advice.
Considering Motorola Moto G, partly due to price have to admit. Any opinions?
Will probably try my local Tesco's first. Other shops are further away from me.
Though may actually buy from Giffgaff, where my last sim came from.

Hi Mike, Have you thought of trying one of the smart phones in a shop?
when ever I am thinking of getting either a phone or tablet, I go to Tesco
and ask them to show me one and turn on accessibility so I can try it in the
shop before buying. I say Tesco because my experience with other shops is
bad. I find these very helpful.

Hello Mo,
Thanks for your speedy response.
For most of the time I get by on the ipad with just the Zoom features, Kindle
app, etc. Have used voiceover sometimes but mostly I can get by without it. I
find most mobile screens too small to cope with. My wife has iphone but I could
not cope it, but she has it set up for herself of course. She has good eyesight.
I can manage the Doro for numbers and text messages, but of course it is
unsmart!

Hello Mike.
Do you currently use your iPad with voice over? or magnification? What do you
want from a smart phone on a daily basis?
cheers,
Mo.

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good smartphone?
I have myopic macular degenerstion, with loss of central vision in one eye,
the other eye is holding up fairly well.
I have an ipad mini, so am used to Apple, but am wary of the cost of an
iphone.
Have not used Android, but think I could get used to it, if needs be.
I currently have an unsmart Doro phone, but I need to branch out to a
smartphone.
Thanks for suggestions.
Mike
