Jitterbug by Samsung!!



A cell phone that is easier and efficient for the older generation. The seniors. Apperently, it is said to be the OneTouch phone that is “one of the simplest, most user-friendly phones ever” by Samsung. These are some of its other features - Soft ear cushion and powerful speaker make the sound loud and clear. Bigger, backlit buttons and brighter text are easy to see. Live, 24-hour Jitterbug operators greet you by name, make calls for you, provide directory assistance, and add names to your phone list. And affordability? Service starts at just $10 a month. No long term contracts. No long distance or roaming fees. Add on Minutes don't expire for up to a year! Wow. As sweet as this phone sounds, i still think they could do much better in providing the ultimate user friendly phone for seniors. But the question is do they want to design such a phone? do they really want to make the perfect phone for seniors? and if they do, what will happen to the phone market? and physical design wise, does it have to look so big and bulgy? why not slim and slick like other phones? All i'm trying to say is that i know they could do better as to designing the perfect phone for seniors that doesn't necessarily have to look like a phone for disabled people.

I agree with your post but, I guess they don't really care about the exterior design and are more focused on the phones function.
