Whatever suits Meredith :)
As long as your happy and it works for you. I tend to prefer the larger
phones but I have big hands and fingers....
Which is why you weren't too successful in trying the device in Perth as it
was tailored to my own hand.
Even so, things like needing high resolution (ppi count) screens and bright
ones for use in daylight and a good quality camera (with good short focal
points and rapid focus) tend to limit our choices a little....... It's not
like we are about to ggo out and buy a $50 phone that's a piece of junk but
can make phone calls and do sms.
Have this dilemma in France also but from a different perspective. Here
cheap Nokia's are very popular where the old style of phone is more common
due to ongoing theft of smart phones. It makes it difficult to utilise all
the mobility and indpendance facilities I'm used to on my phone without
being concerned about it being stolen (like gps navigation, public
transport planning and real time train/bus indicators, magnification etc
etc).

I agree with you Peter. I prefer a small phone. Big is so bulky.
Sven, really good point and good example. I know that Vision Australia in
Queensland are advocating for smartphones with built in accessibility
features to be considered as assistive technology for people who are blind
and vision impaired by the NDIS.
I also know Cando4Kids in Adelaide has had success getting an ipad pro
(the big one) for a child with a vision impairment and they showed this was
cheaper than buying all the assistive technology that the ipad pro could
function as, and also that the child was more functional with the ipad than
the assistive technology designed for the vision impaired.
Thanks to Claire Tellefson for submitting information about this to the
assistive technology inquiry so they are more aware of the needs of
Australians with deafblindness.
We all need to keep telling the NDIS and the Occupational Therapists who
make the recommendations the same thing!
Cheers,
Meredith

Actually this highlights a problem with accessibility technology I've long
since been concerned with (or perhaps more appropriately is that its an
issue with the use of mainstream devices being used as accessibility
devices).
I have pretty well defined accessibility needs. I need a phone with a
large screen (so I can read it) and a good quality camera so I can use it
as a video magnifier. I don't need braille but this is available on both
Android and iOs devices these days (as are most other accessibility
features).
But this tends to narrow the selection down to a very limited number of
phones which are usually in a higher price range than most average people
need to consider.
Something that needs to be suggested to the NDIS planners as this is an
expense that is often considered a "unrequired" or "extravagant" when for
us it really is a necessity. Currently am using a Huawei P20 Lite which was
a compromise between features and cost....
