Has anyone on this list picked up one of these phones?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hurray for those who just want a good phone to be a good accessible phone.
This was in Blind Bargains today.
Those who have Verizon or Cricket, take heart. Often phones from Sprint
will either show up on the other networks, or be easily flashed to that
network.
3. Sprint Introduces the Kyocera Kona Accessible Flip Phone, Available for
Free with Contract
Even though there are accessible smart phones on the market, not everyone
is interested in having a phone that requires a data plan. Starting on
September 13th, Sprint will start selling the new Kyocera Kona flip phone.
The phone will sell for $50 with a two year contract, with a $50 rebate
that makes the phone free. The phone has a built-in text to speech engine
that reads aloud all menus, text messages, incoming caller ID,
notifications, and more. Users will be able to change how fast the text to
speech talks and the color contrast on the screen. The keypad has shortcut
keys for 911 and well defined tactile buttons. There is also a web browser
for users that are interested in connecting to the web on their phones.
