The over 37 million American 65 years old and over are the target market of the Verizon Wireless CDM-8630 Coupe cellphone. This is a basic phone that is expected to gain more mileage with the additional 2 million people in the said age bracket in the last five years.

The Verizon Wireless CDM-8630 Coupe provides the elderly with their basic phone needs without the whistles. It is very affordable at $19.99 attached to a contract of course with Verizon. It has a 2-inch screen without the typical features of high-end phone like camera, web browser and networking features.

Target users will however appreciate the slender size of this shiny black flip phone which measures a mere 3.8 x 1.8 x 0.8 inches and weighs 3.3 ounces. The phone may be targeted towards the seniors but it does not look like it which means it looks a bit attractive.

The Verizon Wireless CDM-8630 Coupe phone has an easy to read monochrome screen on the outside and a 176 x 220 pixel color screen inside with large, lighted number keys. You will also find speed dial phones indicated by the red buttons marked “I”, “C”, and “E” which you can designate for emergency numbers. The phone has a continuous talk time of 3 hours and 55 minutes.
