CNET editors' rating:
3.5 stars
Very good
THE GOOD
The Jitterbug Dial is very user-friendly, with a bright display, large and tactile keypad, and many of the same characteristics as a landline cordless phone. You can have the phone pre-installed with contacts, and if you want, you can use the operator to place a call. The phone also has a speakerphone.
THE BAD
The Jitterbug Dial is rather bulky. The volume rocker is in an awkward position. Voice dialing sometimes takes a few tries before it works.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The Jitterbug Dial is the perfect phone for the elderly or those with poor eyesight.
