  • She loves the red color which was $31 cheaper than the graphite phone.
  • works great, color and light is good for old eyes, The photos are very good.
  • The color is crisp and shiny, the screen is bigger (one of my favorite features), the buttons are bigger, which makes them easy to see, and the volume and speaker phone is louder(which is great for Seniors).
  • Wanted a bright color (red) so it would be easier for him to find it if lost or misplaced.
  • I can see if she was to use text, it would have been easy to use as well [but Grandmother gets what Grandmother wants].Also, Grandma loves the red color
