Target group seniors? Rather not ...

The Swisstone BBM 620 is delivered in a sturdy cardboard box with magnetic closure. The package includes:
- Mobile phone
- Power Supply
- Charging unit
- Battery Li-Ion 3.7 V / 700 mAh
- Headset
- Operating

The first impression is positive. The mobile phone is rubberized and therefore tacky feel. It is a Aufklapphandy that is not too large in size 10x5cm and a height of 2cm. The charging cradle like me well, so you have the cell phone always at hand and can recharge it easily. The headset looks rather cheap and dampens the good impression a bit. The manual I find less than optimal, it is quite confusing positive thing is the rather large font.

The SIM card is used quickly for savvy mobile users. Seniors are but that certainly have some problems since it uses the SIM card only once, will surely find someone who will do this. The display is large and clear, the backlit keys are also quite large and can be pressed well. The Electoral Auflegtasten are clearly visible - thanks to a print of a green or red telephone receiver. The volume can be set quite noisy.

Good is also the SOS button on the back of the phone. One can for storing up to 5 personal phone numbers that can be called by pressing the button. You have to press the button until some time the emergency call is placed. This prevents that you press the button by mistake and triggers the alarm. After pressing the button and an alarm, which I found to be not particularly loud sounds. If you want to disable the SOS button also. The flashlight is also beneficial if one looks the keyhole or must read doorbell signs.

I've assumed that this handset mainly buy seniors, who have never had a cell phone and its really just want to make phone calls and use the SOS function in an emergency. Seniors who already have experience with mobile phones are certainly not specify this model, because it can not much compared to other models. Well, there is the multimedia function, but with a camera of 0.3 megapixels nobody will tear off your feet the pictures are really underground and also the video recorder, as well as video and audio player, you can safely forget. Likewise, I feel the SMS function as rather superfluous, a short survey in the corresponding age group showed that something does not necessarily but it is desirable also does not interfere. The radio may still have a certain right to exist. But I only get reception when the headset is plugged in. All more or less unnecessary ballast which eventually makes it difficult to operate the phones for older people unnecessarily.

In my opinion, was not intended in the design of this phone on seniors. There simply were features that are popular in other phones, built here - whether it makes sense or not. For children, the cell phone is not particularly cool, because this audience certainly would like to have a couple of games on mobile phones and the camera is rather insufficient. I am really at a loss, who in this phone the target group should be for.

I found the various settings not easier than in normal phones. The manual will help a while most continue but is designed rather carelessly. You have to something mobile knowledge have to understand everything here perhaps would have been helpful images.

I can assure all seniors who have never before had a cell phone and really just want to make calls, only advise against this model. Conclusion: The cell phone is, in my opinion, neither young people nor for seniors a great asset.
