Reviews of teXet TM-501

Evaluation 4
Advantages: Large display
Large buttons
Simple menu
Loud speaker
Flashlight
For radio lovers, there are separate control buttons + the radio works without a headset
Disadvantages: A tiny amount of internal memory fits just two photos.
And for that kind of money, there’s nothing to complain about.
Comment: The phone is perfect for a pensioner, for which it was purchased. An older person can easily master the basic functions. You can configure a quick call to your favorite numbers. For such a sum is a very good option.

Advantages: Screen-more can not be! Just the phone will be huge to the point of absurdity. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: The camera is clearly superfluous. I will try to attach 2 pictures to guess where Nokia ...
Comment: I absolutely agree with the author of the first, very sensible review. I will try to add only. Receiver tuner at 30 stations. Drivers to communicate with the computer get up without any problems. Without this, the memory card will not work - its just no media. I bought my mother 87 years old. If you remove 2 SIM cards from this bell tower, almost everything is superfluous ... Although the calculator is convenient, I put a cartoon and sample a clip for testing - everything is visible (screen), the sound is slightly metallic, but on the headphones all the way. Mother immediately appreciated the huge fonts and portraits or pictures of subscribers. True, the pictures for only 8 numbers on the rest will not put anything. So the older generation (I myself am 58, I don’t see my C2 01 nokia without glasses) I recommend. And young people will decide for themselves, the boy will be able with one hand, but the girl is obviously too big.

Advantages: Large buttons and a very large font.
The same big font when typing and reading SMS.
The buttons are separate, well spaced from each other.
Good quality telephone service, that is, the interlocutor is heard well and he hears well. The sound is not deaf and not squeaky.
There is a mode of answering a call when opening the slider and ending when closing.
A pretty good screen, that is, the readability of information is not bad (although OLED or IPS would be even better).
There are 8 favorite contacts, not as convenient as speed dialing, but you can add a photo.
There are 2 shortcut buttons, in one click, the numbers are selected.
The battery is not the worst (should be enough for 2-3 days)
Low price, against the background of prices of other phones.
Disadvantages: With an incoming call, the sound quality is rather poor and the volume of the melody is not high enough. The same sound quality when listening to the radio.
Very large size of the phone, although it is listed in the specifications, but when opened it becomes even larger.As a result, it will be inconvenient for many to use it as a slider.
There is almost no built-in memory, a memory card is required.
The camera is as bad as possible.
The battery is specific, there may be difficulties with finding a new replacement.
Comment: I recommend when buying to check the mechanism of disclosure of the slider. In some works poorly, sticks.

But in general, I think that the phone is very good, for an elderly person.
(in comparison with other phones).

Now manufacturers do not make high-quality push-button phones.
They make them necessarily with some kind of flaws (screen, battery, connection quality, keyboard convenience, etc.), but they are cheap to sell.

If you want to buy a high-quality push-button phone, you will have to look for models a decade old, the new models with an emphasis on quality now do not.
