Hi!
The best cell phone for the older baby boomer and over club is going to depend on what they particularly need from it. Some elderly people have problems with hearing and vision, while others may prefer a phone with GPS tracking, big buttons, or an emergency button. To determine which is the one you should look at, I'd take your parent/friend to the local cell store and let them chose the one they feel the most comfortable with...
If that is not an option, look at the one's I am adding to the products section to help narrow it down.
  I hope this has helped determine which you should look at further! Have a great day : )

Comment by starlightbella: The GPS makes this a stand out model for seniors. This can help them find directions, or help you locate them. Larger buttons and enhanced volume are great also!
