What would deaf people like to see in a cell phone?

Whatever you may call it, a cell phone, a smart phone, text phone, a wireless phone, PDA, and so on, as a deaf or hard of hearing person, explain to me and to the rest of the world out there on some of the things that you would like to see improved or added onto your phone. Or if you're in a ranting mood, explain some of the things you do not like about your phone when it comes to communicating or texting to your friends and families. And what you would hope to see in the next 5 years if you think you can predict the future on the improvements you'd expect to see in your next phone when it comes to communicating to the outside world, deaf or hearing.

Don't you forget the Apple's iPAD that will be on the retail on April 3rd. In year or two, they will add the video into the iPAD. Plus, they will add the movie section into the iPAD in which you could charge $$$ for watching any movies that you could/can select.

Perhaps, it could have hurt the netflix or redbox's business. Who knows?

I want a simple t/m only phone. I don't want the internet, the movies, music downloads, yadda-yadda. I don't even want voice minutes!

There are no such plans for deafies like me.

Hey, Mike!

A cell phone that has an app with text/voice-to-sign and vice-versa. We'd all cha-cha!

Ok, I'm sipping a margarita, but you know what I mean. :)

I want just like what the Europeans have. The ability to talk to or sign to another person on your cell phone face to face.

I think I currently have the coolest phone, ain't nothing else to improve on except for this video chat on a phone.
