Oh I agree with you and would never go back to a flip phone no matter how accessible. But there are still people around who just do not want to go to a smart phone and I like to keep somewhat up to date on what is available.

You can try this link, it may get you past it: Lucia Phone Seems like this is not yet available because it says “coming soon”. No pricing is given and here is my two cents worth: Unless somebody can’t use a touch screen phone like the iPhone because of multiple disabilities, maybe motor skill issues which despite the accommodations the iPhone has can’t be overcome, going back to a phone like this Lucia to me is sort of like going back from a modern PC to using a typewriter. As many pointed out, you have to learn the concepts and gestures for the iPhone, but Larry and Carolyn are only two examples of people in their 70’s and I think Carolyn is already 80, who apparently successfully managed to learn how to use the iPhone with Voiceover. Giving up after a day or two is not advisable. Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Marie N.

But, flat screen phones are not for everyone. Best of luck, Richard Check out my web site at: www.turner42.com “The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.

How do I unsubscribe from this list. I never should have gotten an iPhone in the first place. I don't want to take the time to learn how to type on the stupid keyboard on the screen. I hate the idea of having to type in my apple ID when I want to download an app. Stupid security. My flip phone was so much easier. I could just turn it on and it would power up and away I would go. No having to type in my stupid pass code to unlock my phone. I never should have let that article I read about seeing AI influence my decision to get an iPhone. On Monday I'm contacting apple to see about getting it returned and most of my money back. With apple care and the cost of my phone, I spent almost $1000. I could have bought a great desktop computer for that much money and it has a real keyboard on it. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
