the motorola razr2 v8

[Jacques Bosch]

Hi Guys.
Well I bought the Motorola RAZR2 V8 two weeks ago exactly because it was advertised as a talking phone that reads the menus.
Well yes, it doesn't read any of the third level menus. However, it does read the first two, and it reads the address book entries, and incoming messages.
You can also do a lot with the voice commands which helps.
So I can use it and its a great deal better than anything I've had before, but no, its not accessible enough. I contacted Motorola and informed them that a phone advertised as a phone that reads out the menus really should do better than just the first two levels.

  Yes, from what I understand, only the first layer of menus speak, which
  doesn't do much, for me anyways.

  hmmm, thanks for the info. they showed me one of the v8's and the menus did
  speak, but my daughter went in to the camera section and nothing spoke
  there.
