Review: Ideal for elderly father - Better call quality and easier for dad to use than a smartphone. Limited features also mean he can't alter basic settings when he fiddles with it. Only infrequent charging needed. After 2 months use, he hasn't found anything to complain about but I'm sure he is working on it.
