I think you should give touch screens another try. If it was me, I'd be
afraid of ending up like some old grandad who doesn't know how to use a
keyboard. You can't stop the relentless march of technology.
Smart phones themselves have been a huge boon for blind people but I am
not so sure about touch screens. Just having a GPS in your pocket is
enough of a benefit to make the smart phone a huge boon. There are
pluses and minuses to touch screens though.
voices it's directions. Even the most inaccessible app at least does that.

Actually an item came up, but so-far you must buy from out of the US.
Its a Kapsys, which they said was going to be available in October.
Anyway Kapsys has a touch screen on the left, buttons on the right,
however, some of the layout is weird. The Kapsys site is a challenge
to find English. I already spoke with the future US distributer, but
they like myself are still waiting
