Emporia Spotlights Mobile Phone Simplicity

Austria-based Emporia Telecom is bringing its brand of simplicity to the Americas with two new mobile phones. The emporiaCLICK and the emporiaSOLIDplus both represent the company's focus on easy-to-use mobile phones for multiple generations of the family - from phones for kids to phones for the elderly.

The emporiaCLICK is a flip phone in a sleek clamshell design with a built-in camera complete with photo-sharing capabilities. The emporiaSOLIDplus is a rugged mobile phone built to military specifications for withstanding dust, shock, vibration, rain, humidity, altitude and extreme temperatures.

"We're excited to bring our easy-to-use mobile devices to multiple generations of families in the U.S., Canada and Latin America," said Gregory Foley, president and CEO of emporia Telecom, USA. "We believe there are millions of consumers who simply don't want complicated smartphones, distracting apps or expensive data plans."

Look for both new phones in the first half of this year.
