Does it speak the number as you dial it? That is the one issue with these minimalistic phones, without the LCD/LED display it could be easy to dial the wrong number. I’d like to see an embedded LED display along the lines of those scrolling LED. Name-Tag.

I’m not sure why one would need it to speak the numbers dialed.
We seem to have managed to dial correct numbers in years gone by on old analog phones without screens :|

I wouldn’t buy one if my cellphone didn’t work in another country. And when will the word realize that these “annoying bastards” who always say “I want a phone that just calls,” are actually “cheap annoying bastards”

People actually press numbers to call someone these days? How quaint.

This may still be a little too much for techno phobes. I bought my mom a cell for Christmas and our lesson consisted of: Insert Charging Plug here, Green Button, and Red Button. Even at that, I dont think she got it. Big market for SIMPLE out there, just has to be REALLY simple.

That is GREAT!
Even having a display is too much for someone that just wants to dial a phone number and talk! Cool.
Remember when (those over 35) you knew ALL your friends/family’s numbers? It was a great way to exercise your brain. Nowadays many kids don’t know even ONE friend’s telephone number. I STILL remember numbers from like 1972.
I’ll have to look for this in stores. I love simplicity-very apple like (well, USED to be Apple like)

I didn’t like the idea of this phone until I thought about it more. It’s a great thing for people who don’t understand cell phones. Both of my grandmothers get so confused by their cell phones that they hunt me down (whether I’m working or at home) when something “wrong” happens (keys are locked).

Though… with the lack of buttons… I wonder how you even work this thing.

Slap on an Apple logo and they won’t be able to make enough.

so what happens when the minutes are used up? you buy another pack or you can just reload the minutes? and how to discard the phone properly? a display is pretty essential considering that the buttons are all flat and without distinguishable form and they are very close to each other, you might accidentally hit the wrong button. traditional phone users survived without any phone display because the buttons are clearly separated from each other. and i think putting the numbers in the normal 3 x 4 order would be wiser

great idea anyway

where do the components go, where’s the battery, 10 minutes to charge, where the hell did you get that number? the whole function of this phone is compromised because there is no problem with using your current phone abroad, you just need to tell your network. Also, the problem is not solving the number identification - to identify each number a beep recognition noise could signal, each having a slightly separate tone. The problem is that it won’t work. Okay i understand the reality of concepts, but at least do some research work.
