    The stroke dialer could make for some interesting phone sex.


    "Oh yes! I love it when you type the number 2! Yes! Yes!"

    Have these guys not heard of voice recognition? Do they really think blind people have to waste time in the future learning this?

    @Noobs-R-Us: Do you wants some blind guy saying out your number in the open? I wouldn't mind really, b/c I like talking to people.

    Pretty cool, but I don't know if "Stroke Dialer" is the best name... but do people actually go blind from strokes? I don't know. Whatever. I know what they meant.

    @Platypus Man: The blind guy I was dumped for got that way by being kicked by his sister in the head as a baby and having a mini stroke.

    @Platypus Man: I know. It's sad I engaged in discussions about the guy she was going to dump me for, while we were going out. I just thought he was a blind guy she was hanging with, not banging.

    What the....


    Come on... lets see some high quality voice activated dialing vs this. This is like a step backward from my 2 year old blackberry 8800 (R.I.P.) with the Nuance Voice Dialing.

    @OCEntertainment: Well, they usually master braile, so their sense of touch is pretty good. They can also figure out where they are on a page. I'm sorry, what was your point again?
