Hey all. I got my new Verizon cell phone yesterday. It's called the Samsung Haven! It has a way better screen reader then my previous one. This one reads text messages, menus, alerts, caller ID,

Posted by Joe S on 12/7/2010 at 1:20 PMI really like that phone! And, you can go through character by character by forwarding the message and then going through the message. You don't actually forward it, but act as if you will, go into the body of the text and you can check the spelling or a number or whatever. Pretty neat! I hope the rest follow their example.
You should tell them more about it. Good stuff!
Sincerely,

Posted by Windows7. on 12/7/2010 at 10:25 PMIf i recall, it's called UPD speech or something like that. It reads a lot of stuff. So, if your looking for an accessible cell phone, get yourself a Samsung Haven! From Verizon Wireless.

Posted by sweetgirlforever on 12/11/2010 at 11:22 AMOh! You are blessed to have that kind of phone. How I wish I could have a new phone too this Christmas. I'm having this 33-10 of Nokia and having a hard time to read messages on it. I always look for someone to read my messages. No privacy! I wish I could have one that can have a screen reader too so I won't need someone to read my messes for me. Well as poor as I am, I don't know how will I afford to buy a new one that's why it's really a wish.

Posted by Devin Prater on 12/31/2010 at 9:33 AMOK, does this screen reader come with the phone, or would I have to buy it? And, how do you turn the screen reader on? And, how much does this Samsung Haven cost? Hopefully, I might be able to get it someday, LOL. And, is it an actual screen reader, or just some text message reader or something like that, in other words, can it read apps, E-mail, chat and all the other things the phone might have?
Re:Got my new cell phone.
Posted by Windows7. on 12/31/2010 at 11:25 PMI will say that the Haven is a very basic phone and it has it's own built in screen reader. It has no internet features.
Re:Got my new cell phone.
Posted by Thrill Monster on 1/1/2011 at 4:51 PMMy phone has full internet capabilities.
Re:Got my new cell phone.
Posted by Windows7. on 1/1/2011 at 6:28 PMIs the internet accessible?
