Sighted people would have no interest in general
use or navigation buttons on a touch screen phone. Here is a line or two
from an article about this phone. It is clearly not general
navigation. It sounds as though the buttons are just ways to conveniently
bring up certain very commonly used functions of the phone and after you have
brought them up, it's back to the touch screen. there is nothing
indicating a numberpad for dialing or writing texts.
Beyond the internal specifications, the Galaxy
Folder 2 also has a set of physical buttons for contacts, texts and the camera,
as well as a button dedicated to social media apps like Kakao Talk

Eyes-Free list that Samsung is coming out with a flip phone called the Samsung Folder 2. I understand that it will have a small android screen, and if I understand correctly, one can navigate with buttons. It could be that I have read into it what I want to. I have a friend in Dallas who had a phone called a Samsung Commodore 3. It was not a smart phone, but she said it was, or is, since she's still using hers so totally accessible. They no longer make them. She bought a Haven to have as a backup, having had one at one time, but says it does not compare to the Commodore, which, of course, I told her that pretty soon, the Haven might not work on the newer towers. I don't know that for a fact, the thing could work indefinitely, which I hope it does, since I have a friend in Houston with two of them. I do know that next year, I am going to a phone store with a list of accessibility wants to replace my LG 3, since it does not read me any information about the source of a text. If I don't catch the announcement when a text arrives, I have to guess by the message or get my husband or someone sighted to tell me where the text came from. That's got to go.

Do you happen to know where I can find more info?

I invested a lot of energy jumping from XP to Windows 10. So, like you, I do think that tablets and phones are for the future. Yet on the EF list, I see so many people having problems with this and that, that I am losing my nerve about getting a smart phone. I am hoping that the Samsung Folder 2 will come out and might not present as many challenges. I do realize, of course, that our lists are for problem solving, so if I'm going to hear about problems at all, it would be on a list.

Still being on XP really isn't a good idea because of security." I am probably well at home as an evil twin! For me, Windows XP Pro 64Bit is NOT BROKEN at work, I don't want to fix it. It gets the job done as I move slowly, but surely, into the exciting world of Android and KISS ANYTHING Windows goodbye! For now, I am eagerly awaiting any and all attempts from any quarter(s) to THWART the security of my XP Pro 64Bit box at work. Until this happens, I'm good! I've read quite a bit about Windows10, Creator or otherwise, and the many issues folks are grappling with. Presently, I don't have the energy to want to squeeze juice out of the Windows10 anything rock! I have work to do and I will just stick to that which has enabled me to get work done with minimal hassles. My energy is being invested in learning to conquer a tablet; the real estate on a tablet still challenges my instincts, but, because it holds better promise than Windows anything, I'll keep pushing myself to learn it and deploy it both for work and for all other aspects of interaction with the world by me on this electronic gateway. In the long run sir, Android will be far cheaper for me to maintain and keep up-to-date and I don't have to worry about annual SMA's and such. All that aside, I do appreciate your nvaluable suggestion; but my preferred Windows screen rreader died, its developers went out of business, and I just don't want to pay any person(s) $200 or more per hour to have new scripts written for Jaws! For my own purposes, NVDA is NOT quite there and I have NO IDEA what the cost of having NVDA scripts produced for the Windows apps I still use will net me. Screen reader maintenance eats much too much into the small copecks my company struggles to make and it still has to cut me a paycheck so I can keep reporting for work!
