I found this from the RNIB, there's one there that says it was specifically designed for blind people, and it has info on the accessibility settings on other ones. But yeah I imagine having to rely on voice commands would be annoying. There are features on the iPhone like you can set it to read the text on the screen if you swipe down with two fingers, and it comes with VoiceOver, which is the screen reader software in the Mac, but a different version. The only issue is you'd have to get a sighted person to actually turn on the accessibility settings in the first place. Though and subsequent upgrades would just copy your settings across from the previous phone along with your contacts etc.
Apparently some Android phones (which I'm sure someone said Matt has) support refreshable Braille displays, which is cool, but he doesn't do that in the show that I've noticed, and apparently Android aren't the best.
Of course, that's now. Back in 2007 things were much less advanced.
With Matt's temper, I bet he's broken a few phones in the past by introducing them to the wall!
