Hi Karen, If you're still on fido, they have the lg google nexus 4. It's rather iphoneish but it's half the price and does all the same things. You can buy a mini bluetooth keyboard for it. I'm looking at them on ebay right now because I want one. Between that and a handsfree you could do most things on the phone.
You can't use any phone strictly by voice command, especially not a high end phone like the IPhone or google nexus. Voice commands on all these phones require a data connection, so if you don't have wifi or gprs connectivity then voice commands won't work. They are also unreliable in noisy areas. They are a break on your privacy, and they are only accurate about 90 per sent of the time even when conditions are optimal.
