I bought a htc fuze with mobiel speak pocket on it and it seems to be hard to use. It might just be me though. I have never used a touch screen before. Would the i phone be better for me to try than this one. I am changing to at&t sense I can not aford verizon. Would like to know what you think and if you used the htc fuze before. Should I spend the money on a i phone or just use the one I all ready have.

Hello. I would say the iphone 4. i honestly think the iphone is actually easier to use the winidows mobile. plus you won't have to pay for license transfers or updates. voiceover is right on the phone. plus the phone is faster overall. i had the htc fuze and do not miss it one bit. hope this helps. and you can get a case for it called the keyboard buddy which gives you a bluetooth keyboard and an iphoen case all in one.

if you like a keyboard plus wanted to try a touch screen you can get a slider phone running android :).

i'd say IPhone myself, using one on the AT&T network and it's the best phone i've ever used. you can get bluetooth keyboards for it yeah but the onscreen one can be learned pretty quick. The touch screen interface is very easy too, much easier than mobileSpeak any day.

I would say the iPhone as well. I never had an HTC touchscreen phone; however, I had the HTC Ozone before I got my iPhone and I wanted to throw it out the window half the time. It randomly went into flight mode, froze up, and dropped more calls than any other phone I've ever had. I also hated that I had to buy a data plan but couldn't use it because the Internet feature seemed to be inaccessible. I have been using the iPhone 4 for about a month now and I absolutely love it!

even though some people would suggest you try and get out of data, i wouldn't. one, it's kind of needed for an IPhone, and 2 it's so easy when you have it. need to update an app? no problem. Want to check email or browse the web? That's easy too. not to mention all the very useful apps, money reader navigon and the AT&T mobile, my AT&T by nane, come to mind.

hmm... as I would say its your choice but here I am byist and please do not compare windows mobile to android phones they are to different OS and android is as good as the Iphone. This is my feeling toward this topic. I would go to the store, see which one fits you android or Iphone. Keep in mind Iphone you have to by a keyboard if you want that feature. Android you have a choice between having a keyboard or just a track pad and your not at the mursy of Apple.

I am going with the iphone 4 with at&t. Need more info for the keyboard buddy though. I looked it up and really don't know what to get. I want cheap as possible and not junk. Is the tactile screen worth buying too. Does it really help?

my advice for you is to see how you do with the touchscreen at first, see if you can figure out the keyboard. as for a bluetooth keyboard i haven't really found one yet myself but then again i've gotten quick with the touch one.

I wasn't suggesting trying to get out of the data plan with the iPhone. I agree that it's useful and and pretty easy to figure out. I just didn't like that it was required for the Ozone even though it was inaccessible to me on that phone.

Hello,

I am unfamiliar with the phone that you are talking about. However, if it is an Android phone, you may want to check out:
http://www.blindtechsupport.net
We have a series of podcasts on the site that compare android and iPhone, as well as an ever-growing list of podcasts that review iPhone apps. Might be worth you looking at if you are considering changing phone.

Hope this helps you.

I'd personally recommend the N U U mini key for the iPhone, it is not the cheepest solution for an external keyboard, but it works great. Its made my iPhone experience 10 times better when there is actually a physical keyboard. I was never very fast with touch typing, and I'm glad I got the slide out keyboard.
