It's supposed to be the first phone designed for seniors :P although the idea is just ease of use (breezy). They're marketing to aging boomers (of which I am not one).

Looks like unanimous for the CU515. I'll see if anyone else has strong opinions. But unfortunately they don't have too many options. I guess everyone's going for the Blackberry/Palm and the bells & whistles PDA phones now (which I had and am getting rid of). I'm regressing back to a basic phone.

my phone the LG rumor is a very nice phone, i got it just because i do lots of texting and it has a mini keyboard, so texting is really easy...

sprint in my area works well, so if it doesn't then i would go with another carrier...

here are some reviews for the rumor...

Thanks. I definitely don't want another bar phone, though. I don't do a lot of texting and have had a couple of phones with keyboards and have decided to downgrade to a basic flip phone. I'm with AT&T.

Thanks everyone! :notworthy I bought the <a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=LG+CU515&q_sku=sku1080010" target="_blank">LG CU515</a>.

I went into a store yesterday and actually looked at them all, and I'm glad I did. I'd been thinking of getting the smallest one(s), but I hadn't considered that a small outside means a small inside! The little bit of difference in the size of the slightly larger CU515 really did make the buttons easier to press.

Playing with it convinced me it's a really great phone, and a $210 phone for free can't be beat.
