good processing, equipment and menu navigation

the good Swisstone BBM 420 was ordered for my grandmother (78) birthday.

They are measured purely by the first impressions (05/01/2014), this I will adjust the long-term test.

In my view, three points are crucial

Processing 4Sterne:
Handy and charger for this price well finished, the phone is good grip, no interfering edges. The keys are large and designed brightly lit, the display is easy to read even for my grandma and perfectly adequate.
Since you can put the phone on the charger eliminates what can already be difficult for the elderly, the plugs on to the charging cable

However, there are two points which should pay off in the long run.
1. There are at the sides of the phone three different slide to perform the following function, FM radio on / off, key lock on / off, flashlight on / off, unfortunately this slide are mounted quite shaky and not make a Long Lasting Impression. The volume adjustment is made loud and quiet on a seesaw.
2. At the first touch I noticed is that you immediately see fingerprints on the black plastic and multiply rapidly. If you have certainly also for new and more expensive smartphones but on the mats Plastic reminds me somehow rather.

Menu navigation / guidance 4Sterne:
I spend many jurisdictions, this is the menu for the elderly, especially in the settings too complicated. But let's be honest, Who has this phone and then will not work for the setting? Otherwise, the menu navigation, address book (call), messages (SMS), quite simple and also for older people is super useful and understandable.
With the associated instructions can set up the phone quickly.

Equipment 4Sterne:
The main reason for the purchase of the mobile phone, the emergency functions, SMS, call this function after the first test without any problems. An important note, this is in the manual but not in the description to call the emergency number in the function there is a caveat. Normal dials the phone a number, this should not be accessible, it jumps to the next and start dialing again, as long as it is assumed to a call. However, if at a number voicemail or answering machine Report this counts as a successful mobile phone call and cancels the election process. Is actually logical but you should be aware of it so go the additional SMS to the entered numbers out.

The flashlight is a good addition, the FM radio requires no really think ?!

As written, the phone will receive the first impressions 4Sterne, even while there is no comparable models for the price at MM or Saturn.
