I was skeptical when I read the reviews. I had to convince themselves and have the phone for my father ordered (he is in his early 70). For years he had a Nokia and now just had a handy here! Above all, where he sees what! Operation is simple and clear, the instructions for use is available in almost all languages. The ring tones are clear. The menu is easy to understand, it's not as much frills in there, why ?! The seniors want to make phone calls, texting and eventually go on the internet, if any, and the Doro PhoneEasy 612 fully meets its purpose. From my side a strong buy recommendation !!!
