EmporiaLife Approved by FCC

The EmporiaLife, which is a phone designed with senior citizens in mind, was recently approved for use in the U.S. by the FCC. It is a slider that features a big monochrome screen and large buttons. The default screen provides quick access to contacts. It also features a flashlight built into the phone, and has dedicated alarm clock and lock keys. There is a large red button on the back for making emergency calls. It comes in two dual-band versions (900/1800, 850/1900) and will run on AAA batteries. It has not been officially announced with any U.S. carriers but it will work on certain U.S. networks.
