Off topic -- Mobile accessibility V Talx

[Glenn Ervin at Home]

I am desperately looking for 2 features in any phone that is accessible
either with added software, or out of the box.
I want a phone that is mid sized to small, and I want one for 200 dollars or
less.
Does anyone know what will fit this bill?
Glenn

Actually, right now I'm mainly looking at options. my phone is on the verge
of dying, and it would be really nice to have a phone that I don't have to
have someone read to me.
