Senior Mobile Phone actually is your grandma's phone
Thursday, November 5, 2009Big buttons. A simple display. Rounded corners. Yep, with a design like that, it's definitely for grandma. It's even named as such: 6380 Senior Mobile Phone.
Don't let its bland screen and simple design fool you, though, as it does have a few features that'll please more technically savvy elders. You've got a phone book, SMS messaging, calender, alarm clock and games inside, as well as a a built-in flashlight and an "SOS" button. The big, red panic button is located on the back of the phone and, once pressed, will dial a preset number and set off an alarm on the phone.
The big downside here is that the 6380 only works on the GSM network, meaning it's not for the US or Canada. The rest of the world can keep an eye out for it, though, for $75.
