Brilliantly simple - not only for seniors

For a family member who sees only bad, I've been searching for a good senior phone. You would not believe how much "junk" as is offered at times for a lot of money. The Doro PhoneEasy 410 was a random find - and proved to be very soon be a direct hit. The device is easy to handle, not too small but not too big. One sees him does not mean that it is intended for older audiences. Attractive timeless design. The color display is bright, brilliant and easy to read, the keys are relatively large, easily recognizable and enjoyable to use. The menu structure has thought out, you do not need a long familiarization period. An LED on the cover indicates missed calls or new messages, another serves as a loading control. The sound quality on the phone I find very good.

The functions are restricted to the bare essentials. This is a phone for people who want to make calls and occasionally communicate by text message - and it need not have shrunk to palm size computer with middling camera, MP3 sound excessive, Internet functions, organizer and so on. There to the device a solid manual - if you want to consider buying more, they can download from the manufacturer's website as a PDF and scroll through it. The previously available as an accessory charger is now in the set to - highly recommended.

The user, for I have selected the unit looks, as I said bad. He uses the mobile phone therefore almost exclusively for calls with the speed dial buttons that I have assigned to him accordingly. Makes nine fast-access contacts plus voice mail access. If he called himself, he answers the call by the thing pops up. I can not understand why so many seniors phones are offered with exposed keyboard. One must always type in the key sequence to unlock the keys. With a clamshell, it's much easier. In any case, when aged eyes no longer play. The emergency call button on the unit I locked after some reflection, to prevent incorrect operation. The user satisfy the speed-dialing keys, in any emergency.

Bottom line - if I look at the thing to me exactly: It is not just for seniors, but is also a tip for users of all ages who are looking for an easy and convenient to use mobile phone with no frills. I can Doro 410 highly recommended.
