My only surprise is that he doesn’t just look for a payphone ;-)

Has anyone any experience with the Jitterbug?

I would like to get one for my father who has trouble seeing and dialing with small buttons (forget scroll screens).

I wonder how someone could claim to invent the cell phone, ever watch the Beverly Hillbillies the banker on the car phone and recall now this show was made in the 1960s, it was the same tech Amateur Radio, Ham Radio I know for a fact has used the same tech for 35 years or more, only it is called using a phone patch I was using those 20 years ago.Tone pad check,radio tower on hills and mountains check,handheld radio check,I think he may have invented cell phones at the same time al gore invented the internet.

...he has used an iPhone previously, he recently passed it on to his grandson in favor of a Motorola Droid, which he says he chose because he wanted to get more experience with Android. But that's not all, Cooper also revealed that he carries a Jitterbug as well for when he just wants to make phone calls. Surprising for a pioneer of mobile technology? Not exactly, as Cooper actually co-founded Jitterbug with his wife, who he credits with inventing the phone.
If I have a choice, the Jitterbug will be my next phone. Can't see anything on the freakin' screens of these overpowered pieces of crap anymore, I just want to be able to make phone calls. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

I love my Droid, but it's not exactly point and click, so to speak, when making a phone call. With my old flip phone, I just started dialing numbers and pushed SEND.

With these newer phones, you have to 1)touch it to turn in on, 2)locate and tap the PHONE icon, 3) tap in the numbers and SEND.

I do like working with my contact list, though. That's so much easier than the flip phone.
