Do they make a special Cellphone with extra big keypad for people who have poor eye sight?

It has come to my attention that the keypad on cell phones is only good for a limited number of users, not so good for users with eye sight disadvantages. There needs to be an option for all users of mobile devices, to be able to connect a special key pad that can be worn on the wrist or forearm that can either connect by blue tooth wireless or by a micro-hdmi or micro-usb interface cable. There has to also be an option like the one for large keypads for land line phone users in the home, to make it easier for mobile users. Perhaps the latest tablets which are actually mini-computers, can be used in a new way as the new mobile phone of the future instead of those tiny ones with keys that require a needle nose finger tip stylus that is just plain difficult for FAT FINGERS to text anything at all.

Good to know that people who need it can get something like that. I know i have heard people complain that their fingers are too big to push buttons.

This is correct. Key pads are basically as tiny as possible and they can become very frustrating to people who pay good money and experience difficulties so the end result is customer dissatisfaction, not customer user friendly.

@lookatdesktop I think there was an old model who released a mobile that has keyboard and little big than the units now but it just phased out and I don`t see it anymore

@m_audrey6788 , Okay. So noted. Oh well. Sometimes good ideas are just not too popular with companies who are in it for the bottom line, for profits.

You're welcome. I wish there was a wrist key pad for texting that had the entire keyboard similar to a notebook computer so people who had fat fingers could use it easier. LOL

I remember years ago there was a member here who used an Ipod Touch to myLot, and she was legally blind.

Yes, that is a good thing indeed. Apple is a good company and I really miss the great visionary who founded that company. Steve Jobs. Quote- "STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH." - end quote.
On the afternoon of October 5, 2011 I was tutoring a high school student in Scottsdale, Arizona.
