Doro 338gsm Review

Look and feel

The Doro 338gsm features a garish white fascia and simplistic design, with only a numeric keypad and three speed dial keys below the screen.

Ease of use

The device is aimed at those who simply want a phone that makes calls, therefore it is one of the most straightforward handsets on the market today.

Features

Features are limited to a 50-entry phonebook and an alarm/panic button that sends a preset message to five specified contacts when pressed. It also automatically calls those five contacts in turn, until someone answers.

Performance

The Doro 338gsm delivers a good performance, albeit on the limited feature set, and it is also compatible with most hearing aids.

Battery life

Battery life was good; a docking station is also supplied that keeps the phone charged when plugged in.

The verdict

The Doro 338gsm is targeted towards the older generation and deliberately avoids unnecessary features. The panic button is a good idea, but anyone looking for more than just a phone that makes calls will be disappointed.
