Subject: [gui-talk] acessable cell phone for sprint or verizon wireless

Hello everyone,
My L-G 4500 is coming to a end, i went to the verizon store to check on
another acessable phone however they are not very acessable to the blind.
The raised dots on the send and hang up button is no longer there.  The
buttons are very flat and even the dot on the 5 key is hard to feel.  Some
phones are talking a little however the buttons are hard to feel.  Flat
panels keyboards  are in at this time and when your hands are cold after
waiting for public transportation the buttons will be almost inpossible to
feel.  Sprint may have some different types of phones then verizon however
if anyone knows of any phones that are acessable even without speech just as
long as the buttons are raised and the send and hang up keys has a good size
dot please let me know.
sprint has some very good plans with more minutes then verizon and if you go
over your minutes it will only cost $5.00 for 30 minutes where verizon
charges 45 cents per minutes.  sprint has 7a m to 7 p m peak time and
verizon has 6 a m  to 9 p m peak time.
if anyone can assist me in a phone that is acessable for the blind with or
without speech please share it with me.
thanks for any information you can provide to me on a good acessable phone.
