These are very good phones for what they do. 1) for Seniors (most do not use Linux). 2) The automatic emergency call to up to three 'family' or emergency numbers by a single button press without starting phone. 2.1) This facility - the emergency without opening phone - has been the thing that has made me recommend Doro to many seniors and family members as well as the VERY HIGH speaker volume select-able by hard of hearing like myself. Police know it has an ICE number inside easily available if used for link to person to call In Case of Emergency It has proved its worth with family members with dementia onset. 3) High volume settings and ability to interlink with hearing aids. Items 1, with 2 and 3 were reason for company's setting up. Disclosure: my DORO phone does not take pictures; my wife's phone and other family member's ones take pictures. Wife has Windows 10 set up dual booting to OpenSUSE. My old Nokia with picture capability only connects to Windows and does not have an SD card. -- regards Eion MacDonald . -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
