Yes, the iPhone will work just fine as a note taker with a BT keyboard. But
now if you have any kind of vision that you can see some then the larger
iPad will come in handy over the iPhone because of it display. Also the
ipad2 has a better processer then the iphone4 but this is going to change in
the iphone4s as they will have the same processer size and the iphone4s will
have more ram it will have 1gb of ram as the ipad2 will have only 512 mb of
ram. JST

I actually did this too with a think-outside bluetooth keyboard that my
parents had given me for Christmas a few years before I bought my iPhone.

That alone would justify the inconvenience of a separate Braille display,

saying a pay telephone and an iPhone are the same, because they both have
keypads for making a phone call. (Well, that might be an exaggeration, but
it proves the point.)
