I find these phones humorous. Some of you may not.

Here's a phone for the person who wants to convey to society, "I give up. I'll never be able to use a real cell phone:"

What's funny to me is that these phones were made to be marketed to seniors but do these people look like they can't handle a real phone?

Oh, and since this is a personal finance blog, I thought we'd take a look at their rate plans:

I might be wrong, but those rates seem on the high-side to me. I don't have the most generous plan in the world but I know I pay less than $30 per month for something like 300 minutes (I don't use my cell phone that much!). They also offer add-on minutes starting at $.25 per minute. Granted, these phones are being marketed to people who wouldn't normally have a cell phone but these rates do seem high. Oh, and to top it off, they also charge $147 for a phone that looks like it is worth $10. I mean, really, $147? That really seems high.

Thoughts?
