Real Cellphones For Real People

Are cellphones getting too small and too difficult to use? Are the buttons way too small for anyone other than a child to manipulate? Well, help is at hand with a company called GreatCall that promises its phones are far more user-friendly with bigger buttons, easy to read screens, loud and clear sounds and easy to retrieve voice-mail messages. The company was started by Arlene Harris and her husband, Martin Cooper, who is often credited as the cellphone's inventor. Anyone who's tired of teeny-tiny phones with teeny-tiny buttons should check out GreatCall's JitterBug model. I'm not sure which carriers offer the JitterBug but there's definitely a huge market out there among the 50+ set that just wants a cellphone that works without all those unneeded bells and whistles.
