    SpeedyE Experimental prototype, never meant for production

    Just bought an Iphone the other day....everyone reccommended it at work.
    I think I have a week to get out of it, and get something else.

    I am losing my eyesight, and can't see anything on the screen....way to small.
    My ex had a huge phone, liked it but the body of it was kinda big.

    I need a phone about the same diminsions as the iphone, but a way bigger screen....and needs to be easy to use, for non-tech person.
    I really cant see anytthing on my screen (texts/etc)

    TY

    I had the same issue with the I-Phone. Very happy with the Samsung Charge and the larger font. The phone is bigger than the I-Phone but not by much.

    That's exactly what I need.
    I signed a contract so I think I am stuck w/ AT&T....not sure.

    These are the phones they have, but I have zero clue what any of them are or do

    get a Samsung galaxy.....and who are you with? Motorola and HTC are the other two that make really big screens.

    AT&T....I have a week to decide. I don't know if I can get out of the contract.
    I am paying $107 w/ 5g, wi-fi, insurance, w/ fire department discount. It was the best deal I could find and thought I wanted an iphone. I like it and it is easy to use, but I cant see anything on the screen

    Stop worrying about the phoneand get your eyes fixed. Advice on which braille phone to buy might not be a high traffic thread on the beeb.

    You can change the font size for text & email, etc......

    I've gone through a couple of these with a couple of different carriers (mostly from changing job locations and looking for better carrier service). It's tough as all hell and a much bigger screen than the iphone without being over done. Works like a champ. Batteries die out in about 8 months but are easily and cheaply replaced without having to buy another phone. If you put a hard case on it the phone seems too big.

    You can also use the zoom in and out.

    My answer is supposed to be a Windows Phone 7. I run a iPhone 4. I'm waiting for windows phone 8.

    lizard84 My “fuck it” list is lengthy

    Settings/Genreal/Accessibility/Large Text(switch from off to 20pt to 56pt text)

    In that area you can also switch to white on black text.

    I also think you have up to a month to cancel the contract with any carrier.

    That seems to work for some stuff. Another issue I had was wanting to read things like the beeb and the font being too small. I hated zooming in and scrolling side to side. I downloaded Atomic Lite as a browser and it has quick keys for increasing and decreasing the font size.

    The Samsung Galaxy S2 is a great phone that rivals it IMO. However the S3 is coming out next week and looks to be pretty awesome. Sounds to be better than the iPhone and HTC. They've sold over 3 million of them in Europe already and demand is so high in the US, they pushed the release date back a week (it was supposed to come out this week).
