locked Re: New Smart Flip Phone?

I should add that there is a problem with my phone
that those who want very much to use it as an alarm clock should know
about. There is a bug that, if you set the alarm, then change the setting,
the alarm will often sound at both the old time and the new time for one
day. I don't think it will for more than one day. Also, it appears
that if you set the alarm, let it go off at that time, then change it to a new
time, that it will go off at the old time and the new time the next day. I
haven't made a thorough study of how long this lasts, but it appears to me to
happen for one day.
I put up with this problem because that problem
isn't important to how I use the alarm and also, because the phone I have
appears to be the best for what I want a phone to do at the price. But
this problem isn't discussed in the review I sent.

It isn't clear to me what is being asked for.
Does the person want a smart phone that is a flip phone, that is, a full smart
phone, or is he interested in a more capable flip phone which will do more of
what a smart phone does and yet is a flip phone?
I don't particularly like this phone as a blind
user because accessibility isn't well implemented. But it is well enough
implemented that I can do what I want with it and it appeared to be perhaps the
best option for what I want, a flip phone that has features like a voice
recorder, and other features such as a note taker, an earphone jack, and one
thing I really like, an FM radio.
And for a sighted person, this phone gets pretty
good reviews, if this one is anything to judge by. I looked up one.
You may look up others to compare. The phone is the Alcatel Go flip
3.
I am going to be doing a presentation on the Go
Flip 3 in March, I think the 9th. I'll show how to work around limitations
in accessibility to allow features such as contacts to be used that would seem
to many not usable. Those not interested in the phone may benefit from
listening as well, because the kinds of techniques and logic I use may be of
important benefit in other situations of limited accessibility.
