Senior friendly feature phone maker [GreatCall Wireless](http://www.engadget.com/tag/jitterbug) announced the availability of its first smartphone, the Jitterbug Touch, on Wednesday. Based off of Sprint's [Kyocera Milano](http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/02/kyocera-milano-coming-to-sprint-september-9th-for-50-looks-not/), this below entry-level device sports a full slide-out keyboard with large buttons, a 3-inch QVGA 240 x 320 display, 512MB of RAM, a 3.2-megapixel camera, 512MB of internal storage, a pre-loaded 2GB microSD card and a copy of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) -- old by most standards, but pretty impressive for a phone aimed at the elderly. Regularly priced at $169 off contract, GreatCall is offering the Jitterbug Touch for a thrifty $149 for a limited time. While this handset's specs may not rival that quad-core beast that you've been eyeing, it may be ideal for someone looking to cut their teeth in the fast paced world of smartphones.
