Well, I don't think they intentionally made the phone unusable - I suspect the mold in the factory was just off some so the dot was placed incorrectly. I'm not even sure that ALL LGX5300 model cell phones have this same issue. Thanks for the offer of help with filing a complaint though.

This looks like an informal complaint that should go to the FCC who may be able to get you a phone with better accessibility and usability. LG should have made this cell phone device more accessible and usable to begin with. If you would like me to help you file such an informal complaint at the FCC, please let me know. I would be glad to help you.

I neglected to say in my original email that I had considered attaching a dot to the 5 key but was afraid it would interfere with the proper closing of the phone. I have a Braille labeler and tried a dot made with that and it seemed too tall. I wil try and buy some of those dots mentioned in other responses. My husband thinks a dot of apoxy may work so I may go that route. I am still curious if all LGX5300s have the unusable dot or not. Lastly, I found much to my surprise that the sighted people to whom I mentioned this had no idea that there was a dot on the 5 key of any phone!
