How will a first time tech user of senior age like this Android? large bottons? sound clarity? screen size? resolution? etc.

For basic things its pretty good. Buttons ate a good size, but you can also make them bigger along with text. Sound is good. I play movies and music on it all the time. Good picture. Down side, its difficult to expand storage, the only way i found to do it is thru my computer and move files from internal storage and sd card to external sd card. Can be annoying.Over all, its worth what you pay for.

The manual that comes with it is pretty small & basic... I don't think it'd help you much. BUT, you'll have access to all of the Internet with it, and Google is great at answering questions (=It's really not a terribly complicated tablet though.

Hi Deborah, with the latest firmwares upgrades the phone is great, you can install the podcastings and internet radio. the OS now it's stable, also the email client from the e72 it's a lot better than the one of the e71

Depends on what your perspective of what "older" means.It's got a pretty decent amount of space for a tablet and the screen is HD,not the original "paper" look with the backlight.

There is a setting where you can set the font to large, the keys are raised which helps. My dad is 87 and I think he could use this one. His phone is very similar to this one. His is a samsung convoy if this helps.

Never too late. I might replace my current (boring) mobile with this one. Also, your suggestion will be helpful to others. Thank you.

It is a nice phone. The keyboard is really comfortable and useful, the multitasking is wonderful. Im still using it as my daily phone. You just have to think about the apps and services you'll need. Basic functions such as mail, social networks and messaging are covered, just dont expect to have the latest stuff. Go to webosnation.com and check the app gallery.

I think you will find it runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) It's fast, clear as a bell and better than my tablet. I made a list on the phone yesterday using a "Note Pad" APP and emailed it to my sister who thought I was the family geek ti be able to email something from my phone. And it was so simple. I have taken pictures and sent them on Yahoo Instant Messanger too. I am now looking for things I can not do with this phone. o far I am at a loss. LOLOLOL.....Jamie

I would definitely not recommend this phone to elderly persons or those with sight or dexterity issues. In addition the voice quality is not the best. Good luck.

The phones OS operates and handles like any other on the market. Keep the phones ram as clear as possible and it will run great. As for apps, this phone loves apps and can handle a large majority of play store talk and text apps. Pay attention to your updates and you will be completely satisfied with your purchase, as I am.

I bought this phone for my 82 yr old Mom and she really likes it and her hearing is poor. It also has larger numbers and the larger screen which is easy to see. It has several features that I, as her responsible go-to person really appreciate it having. There is a place to put in notes; I was able to specifically set the ICE contacts instead of there just coming up in alpha order and it has a 911 button that is easy for her to see and find and hear. And finally, Verizon, where I have our accounts provides service to it. Some of the other phones on the market for the elderly are not serviced by my carrier and I did not want to open a separate account for her phone with a different carrier.

You'll need a set of tools for working on small electronics (also available from amazon), a healthy dose of patience, and good attention to detail. There are a number of videos on YouTube that will show you what to expect once you get the phone open. Good luck!
