       @murena I really think the better solution is to pull away from a society that mandates cellphone use & #smartphones primarily, in the first place. Bringing back public payphones/phone booths & adding internet terminals being a healthier concept than what amounts to branding shifts in tracking devices that pretty much all are coerced into using to one degree or another.The fact that most devices rely upon the wrongful assumption that everyone can use touchscreens easily just adding to the mess set overall.  Technological innovation & advances are supposed to bring inclusiveness but lately has been instead bringing more & more problems for those who can't conform! #DisabilityAccessibility

       @BrahmaBelarusian Hello Malka, these are entirely valid points, and although we obviously can’t change our society overnight, as a software company we also rely on hardware partners. If, based on your experience, you can recommend accessible Android devices with keyboards, please feel free to share this information with us. We’ll be happy to look into it and are doing our best to continuously improve our services and expand our offerings.

       @murena The only Android offerings for smartphone with physical keyboards are in the $500-600 range, which isn't a price point that's achievable for most disabled people, so the 2 realistic options are: getting one of these  https://www.waveshare.com/pocketterm35.htm?ref=itsfoss.comlinux devices for about $200 & fidgeting enough to get them to work in this sphere.(It's not fully absent a touchscreen but it seems close enough to function.) There's a free path that takes more time & knowledge but is likely far less reliable, and then there's getting a mobile Hotspot which costs money but is a simpler setup.OrGetting pretty much any standard touchscreen #Android phone - many of which are under $200 & adding one of the many mini keyboards, their price range being normally $10- $30.For those with programming knowledge & experience- there's no question but that the #Linux one is better right now, but for those without it's questionable. Clear written instructions, on how to get the Linux one to work for this, would go a very long way to making it a practical option. Similarly testing & packaging a pair of Android devices together as a degoogled setup, in one case, would help that gain greater adoption. *For now I see people just continually breaking  their devices, yelling & crying over how they don't really work, without the resources, some just lacking the knowledge on better existing, to get better options.#OpenSource #DisabilityAccessibility #Neuropathy #CervicalSpondularStenosis
