Consumer Cellular Intros the Huawei 8652

I had assumed prepaid from "The Fusion sells for $100 and does not require a contract."

This phone would not be any less complicated than a comparably priced phone with a better screen/processor. There are plenty of sub $200 smartphones out there with no contract with a much better user experience.

I would argue that if a senior citizen was taking the plunge to get a smartphone, a 600 mhz processor and a small blurry screen would only really hurt the user experience overall. I'm not saying they have to spend $200 for a phone on contract, but I think it would be "safe to assume" that their clientele would want a phone that wouldn't be freezing up and glitching on top of the steep learning curve required to get used to a smartphone.
