Good Questions often fall on deaf ears in the communications. Most of the cell phone companies have board members on their advisory teams with disabilities and yet each year its the same thing. I don't know how big the disability market is... in relation to the cell phone industry and continue to wonder. Most of the phones are produced in countries which don't have any laws on the books relative to those with disabilities. An then there is the economy thing. I too wish there was a much better answer.

THIS IS REDICULOUS CONSIDERING THE ADA DIDN'T EXACTLY SNEAK UP ON THIS WHOLE INDUSTRY! We sat and went through the attributes of several hundred phones and to be frank, I don't believe there is any consideration toward making these for any handicapped other than deaf and that is purely because so many don't want them heard. The irony is mind blowing. At this moment I'm learning the joys of bluetooth technology. I can't believe anyone ever went to court over this. All they had to do was get it to work to prove it was theirs. I have a photo of this stupid splint I wear that gives me a wrist activated two finger pinch by flexing my wrist. I was contacted by some folks wondering about it. Now I just have to get it to go from my phone to my e-mail. There is never a 8yld chinese kid when you need one. So what if hes Mexican. lol I think this can be altered with velcro and super glue and be forced to yeild to my desires. I feel like I should be able to make this to work, and not run over it for the warrenty. john ----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: John S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 5:32:26 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Which Cellphone Me too John!
