Time is our friend on these things. It's $300 today. In a few months it'll be under $100. By this time next year it will be free with a 2-year contract. This is exactly how things went with the Nokia 3650 which also started out at over $300 last April. As to how complete the accessibility is, I can't really say. But, But, please recognize that this is one vendor's first attempt at that, and please recognize that they rushed that feature to market. So, it's probably best to go to a store and play with one to figure out whether what it does do is sufficient for your particular needs. Maybe you'll decide it is. Or, maybe you'll decide it is when the price drops in a few months. Or, maybe you'll decide to wait for another phone to compare this one with.
