Photos: Doro's simple, easy-to-use mobile phones
Tags: numbers, keys, dial, keypad
The HandleEasy 326gsm might look like a toy phone, but it's actually specifically designed to be easy to use. Aimed at technophobes and the short-sighted, this handset is ideal for anyone fed up with over-featured mobile phones that deliver too many bells and whistles but fail to deliver in the calling department.
All you get is a massive keypad, a monochrome backlit display, memory for up to 50 numbers, speakerphone mode, vibrating alert and four speed-dial keys right underneath the screen. Battery life stands at around 160 hours standby time and 140 minutes talk time.
It doesn't have a camera, Web browser, MP3 player or expandable memory card slot -- but that might be just what you're looking for. We've been testing the HandlesEasy 326gsm for a few days and it does what it says on the tin. You can buy it for around £85 from doromobile. Click through for more doro phones.

Doro 326. Good - has easy to use keypad and good ringtones for the elderly or impaired. Will store 4 quick dial numbers but cannot attach names as keypad has no letters. Side buttons can easily be pressed in error.
Bad - the screen is poor & small, with very small graphics. Even though it says 50 numbers can be stored, names cannot be paired, so this is of no use at all. I think for the price a larger/colour screen with better basic graphics should be applied.
