It's the year 2006 #pastfuturetechnology.

Japanese networks have always looked after people that find technology a little more challenging but are nevertheless very much dependent on it.

As we've established by now, mobile phones don't just serve the general population to place calls or send messages but cover a wide range of essential services – including disaster early warning and emergency notifications.

On many networks, phones specially designed for the elderly or otherwise disabled persons have specific designations such as ?easy" or ?simple". Whilst the W45T isn't categorised as such, it does exhibit many of the enhanced and simplified features.

Starting with the extra-large 2.6" QVGA screen (where 2.4" is standard) which nicely fills in the upper flip real estate, we also find large and padded keys for easy navigation and text messaging. The menu structure allows for a ?smart" mode which enlarges the font and restructures the menu to make it easier to access the most important functions straight away. I've got to say, the screen and the keys immediately stood out to me and really give this handset a different look, in a very positive way. The phone handles flawlessly!

After all is said and done, the Toshiba still make sure it is relevant to its day and age, and the 3.2Mpx camera and external microSD support ensure that the phone is a worthy 2007 competitor and provides extra value.

I will cover more accessible phones shortly.
