I agree. One issue I had in my brief foray into the Google world, is that Google allows manufacturers to do whatever they want with the phones. So, for example, I had a Motorola phone that I mostly liked. But they disabled accessibility for customizing ringtones, which is a feature that I use. Google wants to let everyone do whatever they want, and at least when I tried them out, that sucked for accessibility. Cheers, Donna Donna
