This seems targeted towards elderly people and while the implementation isn’t ideal the concept itself isn’t too bad.

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you explain how this would suit the elderly? I must be missing something because it appears that thing is either a very complicated landline phone or a very cumbersome tablet that you can't pick up and carry around. Imagine typing a WhatsApp message to your granddaughter on that.

If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless(*) technology.

The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.

TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.

Edit: it would also make it simpler for grandma to make WhatsApp calls if she can hold the phone to her ear.

(*)2nd edit: “wireless” means non-landline, as in cellular.

4G capable "landline" phones have been a thing for ages and I see them every once in a while. No touch screen, just buttons like a traditional one

wireless

power cable

I have been lied to

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think what the other commenter was getting at is you can access a cellular connection (wireless) in a land line format

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Shh, you're ruining the joke

Lol, that looped wire coming out of the handset means it's not wireless
