AAA batteries?

Come on. Senior citizens aren't THAT dumb.

I have a feeling the red button on the back will accidentaly be dialed often. Just a guess on what I read.

This phone better be hella loud.

I'm glad someone other than Samsung's Jitterbug is finally making a phone for older people. This needed to happen years ago for every carrier, however.

senior citizens make up a fast growing segment of our society.

The "baby boomers" are getting older, their fast lifestyle is catching up with them. Their bodies are showing signs of age.

Why not accommodate them?

why not offer a phone for their tired eyes and arthritic hands?

See a need and fill it, the people that make this phone will inspire others to imitate them and cash in.

i never claimed it was a bad idea. I said they needed to come up with a phone like this years ago. Did you read my post?

BUT, using triple A batteries...what a bad idea. It'll suck life outta those so fast.

please. it's still a cell phone. regular triple A's? I don't know why you can't just make a lith ion for it, with the universal USB charger.

I guess old people like crappy batteries still.

It does include a rechargable, though. The AAA is only for backup.

It has a regular phone battery, but can run on AAAs if the main battery dies.

Hmmm, I don't recall reading in the article that it also takes regular lithium ions.

It doesn't state it in the article, but if you follow the link for the FCC website and look in the User Manual you will see that it has a removable Li-Ion 3,7V/1000 mAh battery and with the US version will be able to accept 3 x AAA 1,5V batteries. I didn't read any further on so i can't say if the manual states talk\standby time while using AAA's.

For the market the phone will serve I think it looks like a great phone.
