AT&T's new Pantech Breeze offers a range of features specifically designed for seniors and customers who have disabilities.
 AT&T and Pantech today announced the Pantech Breeze, specifically designed for people needing a cell phone with a simplified menu, oversized display with large keypad and quick-call keys. Built on the principles of Universal Design, the Pantech Breeze aims to reach seniors or customers who have disabilities.
The Pantech Breeze offers three pre-programmable quick-call buttons located below the screen, and menu screens use a highly visible large font. Additionally, the font of SMS messages is enlarged and the date and time of messages sent is at the beginning rather than at the end of a message.
The oversized buttons on the Pantech Breeze respond with a tactile click when pressed, and the amount of time the keys remain illuminated after use is extended. The Pantech Breeze is also claimed to have a clear and loud speakerphone, which is activated through a large and dedicated button.
For those with limited sight, the Pantech Breeze offers the option of having audio accompany numeric keystrokes so it's easier to know which buttons have been pressed. A dedicated hard key for the Pantech Breeze's camera has also been incorporated, making it easier to take pictures and access the photo album.
The Pantech Breeze operates on AT&T Wireless' Quad-band GSM network, and is claimed to offer a talk time of up to three hours. The phone also boasts Bluetooth connectivity, alarm clock, notepad, simple calendar and a calculator.
The Pantech Breeze is available now for $70 with a two-year service agreement or $155 with a prepaid plan. A mail-in rebate of $30 is available for both plans.
