Emporia introduces senior citizen-compatible cellphone

There is a new cellphone in town by Emporia that does not come with even a VGA camera, much less all the other snazzy features such as push e-mail, GPS navigation, and DMB capability. This handset targets those advanced in age with its set of large buttons and huge font display on the LCD. The Simple Phone comes with a red emergency button that calls for help as well as a set of backup batteries that keeps you talking in the event where your brain cells fail to remind you of the charger.
