I was wondering if Odin Mobile, the wireless carrier for the blind is dead? Before
I got my iPhone, I was a user of the Odin VI, an accessible feature phone. I was
told that a newer model of the phone would be out this year, but I have not
heard anything since. The site hasn’t been updated since last December, when I
got my iPhone and switched to Cricket. This leads me to believe that they are
dead. Does anyone know what happened?

I use the Odin vi, but I use it on T-Mobile so not sure about them as a carrier.

I can only speak for me; but I have no interest in smartphones. I do use a tablet, but for my mobile phone, I prefer a simple phone with real live buttons. Why do we all have to want and use the same things?

LTE there are stil quite a few people, older folks and those on the opposite side of the digital divide, who use feature phones.
People who go off the grid / ghost online and want to unplug from all social media and other privacy issues with smartphones do it.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with feature phones. I loved mine until I decided to upgrade to an iPhone.

My daughter didn't want to change from keys to a screen and she's in her 20's, so go figure.
Not that Blackberries back, I wonder if she'll um, go back.

It looks like all the phones they cell now are out of stock. Really wondering
what's going on.
