 EZ Phone September 26, 2008
I've had this phone for 3 months and it is for EVERYONE! Large buttons.. bright screen.. Bluetooth.. my own mp3 rings assignable to whoever calls (My wife's call says I LOVE YOU).. easy to use in both the EZ mode and advanced mode, etc. The only thing wrong is that it has low signal strength when on the fringes. Other phones have 2 bars when this one has none. But if you mainly are within a good cell signal, look at this phone seriously! You'll like it!
 What An Incredible Phone For My Blind Mom!!! September 8, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This phone is truly amazing. I got one for my 86 year old blind, arthritic mother who is in a nursing home, and liked it so much (I'm 61) that I upgraded my old Sony Ericsson to a Pantech Breeze. I ordered hers with voice dial and all she has to do is open the phone, press *8 and the phone asks her what she wants to do. She says who she wants to call and it dials the number for her. When she is done, all she has to do is just close it. I couldn't figure out how she could use a Bluetooth headset with voice dial. That is due to Bluetooth controls, not the phone.
The keypad is close to as large as a regular phone, with keys that are slightly raised in the center. I measured the size of the numbers on the display screen, and they are a full 1/2 inch tall! The size can be adjusted.
For the most part, I was able to start using it without really reading the user's manual. I had never used Bluetooth before, so that took more time. I took it to my local AT&T store and they transfered all of the contents of my address book. For my Mom's phone, I put her address book in via the internet. She lives in California and I live in Illinois, so being able to manage it at a distance is a real plus.
The phone has great clarity and although it is considered a entry level phone, it beats my old phone hands down. Some people call it the "little old lady phone", but to me, it is more of a cradle to grave phone.
The only thing I wish they had done differently is the cover for connecting the charger and wired headset. My Mom, even if she could see, would not be able to recharge the phone without assistance. I even have a hard time gaining access to the connection slot.
AT&T states that the talk time battery life is at least three hours. Well, I got almost 10 hours which is partially due to the fact that both of us have a very strong signal and I don't send graphics, read email, surf the net or take pictures.
Some people have complained that it only comes in white, but I could care less. Clarity of sound and ease of use are of higher priority.
All in all, this phone does everything it claims to, and then some.
