anyone know of any Verizon phones that are accesable with the talks or mobile accessability software? I called them and tried to find out but they acted like I was nutzo! ahha

There's not. The closest to accessibility at this point would be the LG VX4500. It has accessibility built in off the shelf.

Yeah. It's pretty decent, but still, you're better off if you really want an accessible phone to switch to a new company. Personally, I'd take good network over an accessible phone, but that's just me.
The phones that do have talks are phones for TMoble, and for cingular I think...

I have a motorola V710. It actually speaks all the names in my phone book so I just hit send and it dials, but yeah I think I'll wait till my contract's up to get an accessible phone.

Can anyone with an accessible phone vouch for their usefullness? DOn't know how good they actually work

minion, dragonfire had the same problem with t-mobile they said they didn't have the program, after talking to the right person they found out how to get it. But what they said was singular t-mobile and vorizon all had. it might not be called talks, but it's something like it. I think it was mobile something. smile- angel

The two screen reading programs for Series 60 phones are Mobile Speaks and Talks. I have Talks with the Nokia 6620 through Cingular and am very pleased with it. I'm able to use pretty much all functions of the phone, get caller ID, send and receive text messages, etc.

Yes, Talks is awesome. I just got it about two weeks ago, and I love it!

But I want a flip phone? and all the phones that are accessible aren't flip phones. &LT;grin&GT; Yes I'm a typical picky girl.

The lg vx4500 is a flip phone. Not varry accessible. Yeah, got the caller id, able to program peopel in phonebook and read the phone book. But, no text messeges.

Theoretically, the new PDA moble speak should work on Verizon's PDA phones, but I have yet to test out this theory *is waiting for PDA phone to arrive* if it does, Verizon will be superior, if not, then they suck doggy balls.

midnight princess, nokea do have flick phone and can accessible with talks very well. i am not using it but i do saw it before. and if you want to go for flick phone, panasonic might be another choice. some of the model do support talks, but i'm not sure on what series they on.
