kestrellSomeone asked me for more details regarding my new phone, so I thought I would post those details in case other people were also interested.
Notes:
I had a lot of difficulty using iOS devices, and I didn't have much faith that I would be able to do a lot of things with a smart phone, but my cell phone was very old and the voice recognition was extremely poor, so I thought I would take a chance. I am completely in awe of how much I can do with my Android.
That being said, there's still quite a bit of downloading and tweaking of settings that goes into setting up an Android. In the beginning I didn't have a lot of confidence in doing things, so Alexx did a lot of the setup for me.
I think about fifty percent of my frustration was regarding the phone interface, and most of that was regarding accessing my voice mail, since I couldn't type the pin number in fast enough. Alexx ended up putting the voice mail app on my home page so I skipped entering a code at all, but Inclusive Android has a number of reviews where blind users recommend phone app alternatives.
