How do you do that? Just go to the Home Screen and into whichever ap you want to get information from? What if you have called some using Contacts and need to get another phone number from Contacts? Or, what if you have returned a call from Recent calls, and want to check a Voice Mail? Or the number of another recent caller that the current caller might want?

I always have my headset in and go to the information that I am after e.g. my diary or something that someone sent me by using the usual gestures. You can hear VO talking in your ear as well as the person you are talking to and I usually explain to the person who I am talking to what I am doing and could they stop talking until I find what I am after.

Once you get the hang of the touch screen and realize that it is a touch screen, not a bang screen, it does pretty much what it says it will do. For me, most of it has been just learning what I really needed to do. For instance, I get annoyed by notifications, tried to cut them back. I was using the phone today, and it started about a voice mail that I was well aware of, and I heard it say something about tap or double tap, can't remember, but I did, and it shut the thing up, so that I could be in control and tend to the voice mail on my terms when I wanted to. The other day, my daughter-in-law wanted me to hear a message that she forwarded me. I said I did not know how to do that while in conversation with someone, so she asked me to hang up, check it, then call her with my opinion, which I did. I am sure there is a way to do that. Do any of you ever do that, while talking check other things on the phone, and how, please?

I understand that there might be a few cases where a person for whatever reason can't touch the phone, e.g. if they are quadriplegic, have no hands etc. Apple and now Google have put a lot of very smart people to work to come up with this incredible way to make touchscreen devices extremely accessible, apps like Flicktype make typing very efficient with a bit of practice yet some people still think they are better off trying to avoid touching that screen as much as possible. Maybe I miss something here, but I just don't get it.
