    Honestly love the vibe. Catch me on that rotary.

  This seems targeted towards elderly people and while the implementation isn’t ideal the concept itself isn’t too bad.

    Can you explain how this would suit the elderly? I must be missing something because it appears that thing is either a very complicated landline phone or a very cumbersome tablet that you can’t pick up and carry around. Imagine typing a WhatsApp message to your granddaughter on that.

      If it connects the way I think it does, it would allow for the user to hold the “phone” part to their ear and dial on the touchpad like a traditional landline phone while being able to use wireless technology.

      The rest of the tablet apps are what make it not ideal, since its main use case seems to be the phone itself.

      TL;DR: use like regular phone, other apps useless.

  the biggest advantage of this is that I can answer the call with wet/thick gloved hands. modern phones should have a dedicated answer key.

  I’d this a real thing? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am.

  I would love for this to be a dock for my phone and my desk.

    It’d be nice to set your mobile in one and have it connect to other units in a house to mimic landlines.

  I can hear the questions from grandma asking how to find the dial pad after she accidentally deletes it from the homescreen.

  Other then that this reminds me of TV shows or moves that had video telephones in homes mounted on walls similar to this. You would make a call and their face would appear on the screen, you could even broadcast to each screen in the house.

  Looks likes the telecom equivalent of when the flintstones met the jetsons.

  Would be ideal for my workplace. After we got a replacement for our malfunctioning Panasonic intercom system, it was a major stepdown, with little to no features, and some badly working ones (redial of external numbers don’t work because it would need to press 9 for an external line, etc).

  www.grandstream.com/products/…/gxv3470 <-- that’s something like this, if not the same? These are useful for those call centers where they can put the app that has all the forms + scripts the person on the phone are following, and they would not need any other technology at their desks.
