Seems to me not all Android phones are created equal as far as accessibility is
concerned.
It is going to help a lot that Android version 4 is gradually finding its way
on to more phones, and Android 4 has more readily available accessibility
functions than older versions of Android. Older versions can be made more
accessible, but it may take some sighted help to achieve this.
The Google Nexus phone is available now with Android 4 installed, and the Sony
Xperia Pro soon will be. These are phones that are mentioned a lot among blind
people using Android.
Sometimes manufacturers put their own applications on to phones that break the
accessibility. I've seen comments about this regarding HTC and some Samsung
phones in particular.
You might find it useful to join the Eyes Free Mailing List, which could give
you more insight into how the whole Android thing is going.
