Off topic -- Mobile accessibility V Talx

[Janina Sajka]

I'm also looking at replacing the extremely inaccessible Audiovox 9500
I'm living with right now. Why do I have such an inaccessible phone?
Let's just say I ended up with it while we were scoring points with the
industry this past year.

What I am trying to say here is that the phone I hope to use isn't out
yet. Having worked with the 3650 for weeks, I can safely say I don't
want one. But, your decision may be different, of course.
