Hi, Rachel.I really don't think it has the level of accessibility found on the Haven, but you can contact Ms. Barbara Kaplan at barbara.kaplan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
. she is the accessibility liaison. Lynne----- Original Message ----- From: "Rachel" <rachel720@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Lynne,Thanks for checking on the phone's accessibility features. Does the Gusto, from what you can tell, have the ability to read all menus, as the Haven does? E-mail, at least, is more than what the Haven has. What about texting? Is that accessible on the Gusto? I called Verizon to find out; but of course, they don't have a clue as to what "accessible" means to the blind, even after I explained it. <sigh>Rachel On 9/30/2010 12:08 PM, Lynnette wrote:Additionally, I only hear e-mail capabilities, not Internet access.

In looking at the accessibility table for the Gusto, seems it only has Voice Activated Dialing. I'll investigate further to determine whether indeed it has the same speech functions as the Haven.

My friend didn't know how well the phone speaks the Internet, though, so in essence, it may be just the same as the Haven for us. The Gusto also apparently has a camera, whatever that's worth; and yes, for me, it has bluetooth! Yaaay! I can't say anything further about the Gusto, not having seen it for myself; and you should understand I'm just relaying what someone else told me about it. But it may be something some of you might want to check out. Rachel
