For many people, the cell phone isn't just for communicating with friends and family; it can also be a lifeline in times of crisis. Indeed, a very good reason to own a cell phone is simply for those rare emergency situations when you need help pronto. It is with that philosophy in mind that UTStarcomm and Verizon Wireless have teamed up to offer the Verizon Wireless Coupe. Called the Coupe because of its sleek and compact design, the phone has three buttons marked I, C, and E just for "In Case of Emergency" numbers. This is in addition to a dedicated 911 button already on the keypad. Clearly, this phone is meant for those concerned with getting help as soon as possible--maybe for senior citizens, kids, or those with specific health-care needs. Aside from that, the phone is pretty basic--no MMS, no camera, no Bluetooth--but if all you want is a phone for emergency purposes, the Coupe fits the bill.
