We’ve dared to develop easy mobile phones with distinct keys, easy to read displays and the most obvious functions, such as being able to call and send text messages,” says Jerome Arnaud, CEO at Doro.

Four of the phones are aimed at senior citizens who want an easy, good looking mobile phone with clear functions, these are the Doro PhoneEasy(R) 338gsm, 342gsm, 345gsm and 410gsm. Of special interest is the Doro PhoneEasy(R) 410gsm, which is a clamshell. This is the first Doro mobile phone that folds, which is a function that many senior citizens have requested. The fifth phone, Doro HandlePlus 334gsm, is aimed at senior citizens with a greater need for clear, simple, functions and/or assistance.
