"... a phone smart enough not to come with any apps. Its intuitive bulky face design comes with a 'super-advanced' rotary dial..."

Love their marketing speak here :)

it actually seems to be made for adults with the Bluetooth connecting to the mobile phone for real calls.

All I want to know is, can I Bluetooth audio device it into my work laptop's SIP client? It could sit inside webcam view for those important conf calls

Probably, as I expect its just a bluetooth headset

I don’t think it’s just a headset, more of a hands-free interface. A headset can’t establish outgoing calls to arbitrary numbers like a hands-free interface can.

I dunno man texting grandma to call, syncing the phone, and having it ring with grandma actually on the other end would be great for toddlers.

Agreed. My nieces who are still young enough to get a kick out of that live with their grandma (and the other lives in Senegal and doesn’t speak much if any English) so I’m not sure who they’d get a call from … me, I guess!

I suppose I should be a better uncle and call my nieces and nephews sometime, cute phone or no cute phone. There’s just so freaking many of them now.

Seems to clearly target adults.
