TTfone TT750

I have no use for a smart phone and when my Samsung dumb phone starting suffering from difficult-to activate keys I looked around for another dumb phone replacement. The TT750 fits the bill perfectly. I really needed the larger buttons and clearer display as my close-up eye sight is not what it used to be. The additional display on the front is useful too when the clamshell is closed and although it's slightly larger and heavier than my old Samsung it is not unduly so and still slips into a shirt pocket easily.The camera is fairly crude providing only a 240 x 320 pixel image with poor contrast and not terribly sharp but then I wasn't expecting much better from a £50 phone. It will also shoot video of similar quality but for that you need an optional microSD memory card inserted under the battery. The manual didn't specify memory size limits so I contacted TTphone who said they recommended cards between 8 and 16 GB, so I bought a Sandisk 16 GB card which seems to be working fine. You can connect the phone to your PC and simply drag and drop photos and videos to your hard drive. Photos can be used to add wallpaper to the phone's screen.I bought the red colour because it is the same as my Samsung and I think it looks very smart. The large keys feel very positive but when texting I do wish the software made it easier to select a capital letter in the middle of a sentence ... I still haven't mastered it. As supplied the keys talk the number pressed but I found that irritating and turned it off in the menus along with the equally irritating music when you switch the phone on and off ... silence is golden.I chose to recycle my O2 sim and the TT seems to pick up a much better signal than my Samsung did indoors so that's another bonus for me. Audio, both received and transmitted, is very good and the speaker can be set very loud for those who are hard of hearing which is also handy if you are stuck in a noisy environment. Earphones are supplied but I've not tried them so can't comment on their effectiveness. It also comes with a small charging cradle or you can simply connect the USB charging lead directly into the phone at the side. Oh, and if you find yourself in the dark, it has a torch facility activated by a button on the side of the phone.All in all a very neat little package with which I am very pleased indeed.Dave.

I've been trying to help a friend replace her older Nokia flip phone. She has had some eyesight deterioration so we wanted to try one of these big button types. The first we tried was a non-flip type. It was OK, but the layout of menus etc on the screen was woefully dated and not very clear. It also had volume buttons on the side which protruded quite a lot.So I trawled through some of the other phones on here and tried a Uleway model (whihc I've reviewed also) and this one.Pros• Of the three this comes across as slightly better in most ways. The presentation of the 'phone on Amazon, the boxing, the overall feel of quality (in relative terms) and how well thought out things are.• It is a touch smaller than the other model but still big enough that the keypad buttons are large with clear lettering/numbering and the screen is usefully bigger than a non-flip type.• Call quality and ability to pick up a signal in a very poor signal area was about the same as my modern smartphone and the other phones we tried• Call sound quality is good – my friend does not have hearing impairment so I’m not sure whether others would say it is loud enough or not, but it seems good to me.• It has a display on the outside as well which shows the time etc and will show who is calling• It can be set to answer just by opening the phone• It can read the numbers as you dial – volume can be adjusted• Numbers being dialled are large and clear white on a black background with a clean, modern font• Its menus are clear and simple. At the top level it has a big colour picture icon for each. Then the options inside each area are clear, clean lettering. There are probably too many options in the menus for most people these will be bought for, but they’re OK if someone more used to phones is on hand to set up• The buttons for selecting menu options are big and clear with only simple up and down buttons for going through a contacts list for example – no four way menu pads or whatever• It can be set so that when you press the up or down buttons it will go straight into a menu. So for example, up could go straight into the Contacts list without needing to press a separate button• Contacts can be dialled simply by pressing the green dial button when on a name (that’s one less step than another phone we tried)• The charger is a very neat small one the same size as a UK plug head (i.e. like a modern Apple charger) and it uses a standard USB A to USB mini lead (so is easy to replace if needed)• Instructions are reasonably clear (has a quick start guide and a bigger booklet) and in good English (rare!)• Comes with some cheapo headphones and has a 3.5mm port• It will do sounds for power on, power off and open phone, close phone – but these can be turned off easilyCons• The battery is smaller capacity than some we tried (i.e. 800 mAh vs 1000 mAh). I’m not sure what this will translate into in terms of how long it will hold a charge.• The SOS button is not marked as such and is smaller – that may be a good or bad thing depending on your point of view.• Like all the phones we tried the ring tones were pretty dreadful apart from one which was passable – but others can be added.• It is 2G only so will stop working on Vodafone in 2025 and on all networks between now and 2033 (others have not announced). It won’t work on 3 or other networks which use 3 under the skin.We didn’t try the SOS feature or Bluetooth
