Talking Keypad Cellphone for the Blind

Hello,

This isn't so much a question, as it is a "thank you" and a newsletter suggestion. First of all, thanks for your newsletter "Macular Degeneration News". Your suggestions have helped my friend Ray, who has gone totally blind in the past 5 years (and freaking out more and more about it); and the newsletter has also benefitted my mother-in-law, whose sight is worsening.

Ray's growing frustration at his inability to locate the correct speed-dial numbers on his cellphone led me to search for a new phone for him, and I found one that may be of benefit to your readers.

It features a talking keypad, so when you press a button, it speaks the number. I don't own stock in the company or anything, I just wanted to "give something back" for all your free newsletters.

There may be other phones that do more -- I almost got him a Jitterbug -- but the speaking touchpad on this one sold me. I searched your site and didn't see talking keypads mentioned, even on the large button phones, so just thought I would share:
