Hello Eliza. I'm just wondering, if either you, or someone at this evenings conference on accessible phones, could or would consider asking the representative from Verizon, the following question. Could they put some kind of plan in place for existing customers of verizon, too make it possible for those of us who already use verizon phones and have there service, too enable us too trade up our phones, for those phones that have accessibility built into them, either at a reduced cost, or a charge. Just thought I'd put it out there for consideration. areof ----- Original Message ----- From: Eliza Cooper To: infoshare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 7:11 AM Subject: [infoshare] Re: HTC Ozone with TALKS from Verizon Ah, recorded?

I'll make sure <smile>.

I'm very interested in checking your phone out whenever I get the chance. I want to go to the technology cell phone session that you having this week on Wednesday but I cannot. I hope that someone will talk about all of the good points and bad points of this event afterwards. Thanks Lynne, Eric ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynne To: infoshare@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 10:45 PM Subject: [infoshare] HTC Ozone with TALKS from Verizon Evening, All. If your cellphone contract is up and you're interested in purchasing a new accessible phone with the TALKS screen reader, call Verizon and ask about the HTC Ozone with TALKS SmartPhone. TALKS is one of the leading screen readers for cellphone devices. We received ours today and are as lost as can be but I will be calling Nuance tomorrow. actually, we can arrow around and the Eloquence voice that we know and love speaks all menus. It's a really cute, flat, light phone. the charger is a puzzle but you can get help with that from Maria. I handed mine over and before I knew it, it was beautifully together. <smile> Lynne this is not an endorsement. we simply wanted to pass on the info. MaLyn, who will be demonstrating the unit in this week's podcast--to the best of their ability.
