This phone's buttons and display are much easier for her to see and is just loud enough for her degraded hearing. Not having bluetooth, a camera, nor a music player aren't issues for her since she never used those features on the old phone anyway. This phone could use a larger selection of ringtones though.<br /><br />No trouble whatsoever making or receiving calls. The included charging stand makes her plugging in the charger incorrectly a thing of the past.<br /><br />If you're looking for a basic phone for an elderly person, you won't go wrong with the Knack.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1676 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=35297#review35297 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=35297#review35297 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:13:44 GMT <p><i>muchdrama submitted this review of the Samsung Knack U310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>PROS: Nice large interior screen. Nice large buttons on keypad make it easy to scroll through menus, etc... <br /><br />CONS: Antenna located at BOTTOM of phone where you hold it. DUH! Processor is slow to, well, process your commands you type into keypad. Just a slow, slow menu system. Okay, what's with the exterior screen? Isn't it supposed to be easier to read for, uh, older folks like me? Shouldn't it be color? Isn't color easier to read? Side buttons for volume and other functions are incredibly easy to hit; they give far too easy. <br /><br />SIGNAL/SOUND: The signal simply SUCKS. Reception is horrible everywhere. What's up with that? Put an exterior antenna on this sucker! I don't care! Sound is good but hollow. Sometimes you have a hard time making out what's being said. <br /><br />OVERALL: A lackluster effort on Samsung's part. I'm 38 and I reupped for 2 yrs because all I wanted was a truly simple, no frills handset to use for talking maybe 300 minutes per month/10 texts per month. Samsung can't even get a simple phone right. What's this world coming to?<br /><br />I'm on the Verizon network in South Florida.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1676 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=34218#review34218 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=34218#review34218 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:39:55 GMT <p><i>esketores submitted this review of the Samsung Knack U310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I might be light at a 3.5...<br />Bought the phone for my 84 year old father who is hard of hearing, vision is less than he'll admit too, and is easily confused by gadgets.<br />It replaced a less than cheap phone some not so brilliant Verizon salesperson pushed him into.<br />He can see the screen.<br />Hear the person to whom he is talking.<br />The keys are not too small.<br />Can finally get his voice mail.<br />Were working on him understanding how to scroll through contacts. Since he has very few people he calls the speed dial (no more than 3) has come in handy.<br /><br />The ringer and vibration strength do leave something to be desired.<br /><br />It is the only Verizon phone for the elderly and actually does fit the bill.<br />A good phone for mom and dad.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1676 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=31337#review31337 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=31337#review31337 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:04:32 GMT <p><i>darc submitted this review of the Samsung Knack U310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I was looking for a good quality basic phone to replace my motorola w385 and the man at the verizon store recommended the samsung knack.

I travel all over New England and the reception is so terrible I thought I was back in the 90's, good in the city but no where else. Samsung had a nice simple phone but they screwed it up.<br /><br />Text is large and easy to read<br />Volumn is loud <br />Just for calls and text messages<br />No thrills and BS stuff<br />good for the city dweller<br /><br />Cons<br />No or very limited reception, <br />No password protection when powering up the phone<br />Ring tones are lousy, so you have to buy them<br />Not good for a commuter or traveler</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1676 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=30998#review30998 http://phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1676&r=30998#review30998 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 13:51:10 GMT <p><i>jhr submitted this review of the Samsung Knack U310:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>If you want a phone just to talk on<br /><br />pros<br />hasn't dropped a call<br />good clarity<br />font's are large and larger<br />speaker is loud, <br />1st time I had a phone that the volume wasn't<br />max'd out<br /><br />cons<br />no password option when powering up the phone<br />ring tones are lousy</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1676
