It is not having a key pad. It is a touch screen phone. It wont be difficult for you. When you tab each time you can know with the help of voice over what you are doing. The cost of this phone is from 30,000 to 35,000. Even E7 is also having a touch pad. But the advantage of I phone is that you don't have to buy a screen reading software it is inbuilt. But for E7 you have to buy talks for it.
