Ewan — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:37:34 +0000

Simple, easy to use, big, loud and very light — plus it comes with a nice docking station to charge it (so you don’t have to fiddle with wires). Precisely what your Granny wants. Get her one at www.amplicomphones.co.uk.

Episode 58: The Amplicom M5010 unboxing – your gran’s favourite

Ewan — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:34:47 +0000

As I said in the video footage, this handset will definitely not be at the top of your most-wanted list. You can tell this because it switches on within about 2 seconds. All the current super-sexy smartphones on the market take minutes to startup, perhaps highlighting just how simple and usable the Aplicom M5010 is.

This is, then, a phone for granny. Or dad. Anyone over the age of 50 who simply can’t be bothered to wrap their heads around the rather complicated user-models required by the mainstream manufacturers. Amplicom specialise in making simple BIG devices that are incredibly usable for the elderly and infirm. As you’ll see in the video, the device is massive, light, loud and very easy to use. Think about getting one for Granny.
