vincent, don't give up, as one who also got the i phone four a couple of months ago, i too had the same problem, and my other half also installed a swear box in our house, i am getting there with the phone, although my e mailing still is a little iffy, but that is not the fault of the phone, but i should have it all sorted on monday, do try to get sighted help if you can to start with, the guys in my local o2 shop are brilliant, i did also invest in a braille pen, a keyboard,though quite expensive is wonderful for me, now i'm not saying it's the answer to everyone's problems, no, but for me it works fine, by the way, if you happen to phone a taxi driver in new york or a rabbi in jerusalem, by accident, tell them i was asking for them, you wouldn't believe the numbers i rang by mistake when learning to use this baby, all part of the learning process, but to repeat, don't give up, take care, travel safely, joe.
