Can you explain how this would suit the elderly? I must be missing something because it appears that thing is either a very complicated landline phone or a very cumbersome tablet that you can’t pick up and carry around. Imagine typing a WhatsApp message to your granddaughter on that.

If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless technology.

The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.

TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.

  4G capable “landline” phones have been a thing for ages and I see them every once in a while. No touch screen, just buttons like a traditional one

    I think what the other commenter was getting at is you can access a cellular connection (wireless) in a land line format

  Lol, that looped wore coming out of the handset means it’s not wireless
