Hi, everyone!

I would like to know how does the accessibility wotk on BlackBerry 10 devices...

I have low vision, because of that i need phisical keyboards, so i'm thinking of getting a BlackBerry smartphone...

I had a Nokia E50 long time ago, because it has an application that reads me aloud the text messages, and when the phone died, my parents bought me a BlackBerry Bold 8250, but it died 2 years ago. Sense then, i didn't get another phone... But, i need a new smartphone to be in contact with the family and stuff...

I want to kno if there is some kind of high contrast theme (Black background and white letters), if i can make the letters bigger, and stuff like that. Also, i would like to know if there is a screen reader, as well...

Sorry if my English sucks, but i'm not a native speaker...

I've not used this feature but this picture is worth a thousand words. I'd recommend hitting a store and test out theses settings.

Hope that helps!

Yes, the Z30 and Q10 have display screens more suitable for the white lettering on black backgrounds. Generally though Blackberries have reverse contrast modes and font sizes can be increased. Screen readers are hit and miss with the stock OS but there are download app workarounds.

For instance, I'm typing on a Q10 at the moment and this is my screen:

Here is a picture of Reader and the ability to increase the font size as well as listen to the dictation (the app reads the text, not sure what it's called) app.
