In a world where functionality is king, and mobile phones are becoming more complex with each release, wouldn't it be nice to go back to basics? The National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad in India have come up with a solution that does just that. Positioned for youngsters and the elderly, this really strips down just about everything on the mobile to the bare essentials, even removing the keypad. It comes with 5 buttons.
The three buttons can be assigned to any three numbers and the user can receive or make calls from the three pre-assigned numbers. Two buttons near the top of the phone are used to connect or disconnect a call. The mini mobile has no SIM card, which means if stolen, it can't be misused which means your kids and grandparents are pretty much safe with this unit even if they have never used one in their life.
The absence of a display screen means no access to SMS or MMS. At a time where many schools have banned mobile phones, and the elderly find it difficult to operate complicated handsets, could this 5 button phone be the answer to our problems?
