Doro Phone Easy 335 & 410
Today’s boomers and seniors are active and are accustomed to being connected to friends and family regardless of where they are. One of the ways they stay connected is through cell phones. The only problem with that is that finding a cell phone that is easy to read and easy to use for older folks is sometimes difficult.

We’ve published several articles that highlight senior cell phones and even upcoming elderly cell phone designs; they were met with a good reception. In that vein, here are two more fairly recent contenders in elderly friendly cell phones.

Introducing Doro PhoneEasy

Doro PhoneEasy offers two phones specifically designed for seniors, those who have difficulty using their hands or who have problems with their sight or hearing.

These new phones offer several features you would expect to find in senior-friendly phones such as:

• Color displays that are easy-to-read
• Large text
• Speakerphone
• Bluetooth wireless technology
• Hearing aid compatibility (T3/M3 and T3/M4)

These Doro products were developed in collaboration with Ergonomidesign, who specialize in designs for everyone, including for people with special needs. Doro product designs have won several awards, including the French Janus Award, a BIO 21 Honorable Mention and, most notably, the IDEA® Bronze Award. Doro also has won the Stevie Wonder and Friends Vision Free Product Award at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

This phone is built for simplicity. It sports a large and bright color display for easy reading. It also has larger buttons and numbers that are back-lit for easy dialing, a vibrating ringer and Bluetooth for hands-free use.

Besides being easy to read, there are two features that stand out to us. First, the phone is easy to hold on to due to a soft, rubber finish. Second, it has an emergency button to call for help. Here is a breakdown of the phone features.
