I would beg to disagree with your last statement, as the iPhone is very accessible, and can do so much more than any talks phone I have seen.

Apple phones only access the internet on your lan. I listen to the start of a book on my pc and if it sounds good copy it to the phone. for accessibility nothing comes close to a nokia phone with a tactile qwerty keyboard and talks.
