For old people? Heck, I'd want one myself. Just give me a simple phone with no frills.

I just bought a cellphone for my 50+ year old mother in law, and watched her try to use it.
Tip for phone designers: make that LCD a touchscreen. If I had a nickel every time she scrolled to a name in her address book, then pressed down (really, really hard on the delicate screen), I'd be a dollar-menu-naire. It sure made pretty colors when she jammed down on the screen, though.
Phone for really, really, really old people: Ditch the address book, and just make the inside of that flip-down piece hold a piece of paper.
