By Raju Shanbhag, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Mobile supplier Communic8 Ltd has unveiled the new Binatone ‘Speakeasy’ (News - Alert) mobile phone. The company claims that this is the UK’s lowest priced big button mobile phone.



 
Sometimes the modern age of mobile phones can do anything and everything! Many feel that among the lure of advanced features such as cameras, GPSs and so on, mobile phones have become too complex and are not very easy to handle.
 
Binatone ‘Speakeasy’ mobile phone promises to bring back the simplicity of mobile phone with features such as an extra large display, speakerphone, loud ringer and strong vibration alerts. It does not mean that the look or the size of the phone is compromised to accomplish these features. Even after having big buttons, the phone still has a slim and comfortable size, says the company.
 
Other standard features such as caller ID, direct SMS key, and a unique notepad at the back of the handset are also present. The company promises to offer simplicity at every step and accordingly, the phone is SIM free and is not locked by any other network.
 
Neil Scanlon, the UK Sales and Development Manager for Binatone says “This innovation for the Big Button Mobile GSM brings a specialist product that the market has been missing for some time - at a very accessible launch SRP of £49.99 Binatone are delighted to have partnered with Communic8 to offer supply to specialist retail and mail order markets.”
 
Binatone is a familiar name in UK for Home Electronics. The company has sold countless products over the past few decades. The new Binatone Speakeasy is available for consumers through Communic8. At £49.99, the company believes that more elderly people can now afford the phone with big buttons, which will be helpful for them.
 
In March 2007, the company introduced the world’s first CAT-iq compliant telecommunication device. CAT-iq is the new global technology for broadband home connectivity, which is based on the mature and reliable DECT (News - Alert) technology and brings broadband Internet and telephony together
 
Communic8 specializes in the distribution of accessible mobile phones in the UK. The company has the exclusive distribution rights to Emporia, ITT and various other handset manufacturers.
