...but her eyes arnt too good,thats why she gave my t610 back to me and had her t200 back (plus u know what a t610 is like under the sun). So what phone do u guys and gurls suggest? Price needs to be under £140 (ish). PS,she is happy with her t200 but the battery is terrible,wont even last a day without needing a charge,new battery? sw upgrade? (I will post current sw version of the t200 asap) Help appreciated :-) Boyi.

Google vodafone simple, it's just a phone with sms and calls. No camera or anything fancy, no silly little icons to confuse her. Just a big screen with big fonts and big buttons. I think it's about 70 quid though.

Well i must admit that mobile phone companies in general have not included people that are visually impaired into there product ranges.
But My Grandma had an Ericsson A1018s which she gets on with ok as the buttons are well spaced out and the screen is quite clear...

I gave my mom a sharp GX10i, she's happy with it, happier than she was with the T105
For my gradmother I will buy a T630 (white) clear and easy to use

what about a nokia 3310 or 3210

@boyi -- Nokia 2600. Colour phone with a clear LCD. Large bold font. Comfortable keypad. No WAP, camera, IR & BT, which your mum don't need I suppose. But if she wants to do some budgeting it has a spreadsheet function. It has a calendar too. Battery gives great standby time. My elderly officemate, a grandma, likes it very much. Cost her only about US$107, unlocked.

@boyi - How about a Nokia 7650, sure it has a huge screen to consider. Much cheaper now too. A
P800 is nice too . . .

Right,i think i missed a few minor details here,she had the cateracts* (spelling?) problem with her eyes,hope this describes the situation better.
And i wud prefer her to be on Orange (rest of family are
)
Btw,my little bro has a Nokia 6230,my mum says she can see the screen ok on that phone but im trying to keep her with SE as she is more used to the menus,and of course,keep her with the best
Maybe a phone that i could do the sw upgrading for her too?
Anyway,the t200 sw is R5A 004,any chance i cud upgrade it with my dss-25? if there is one available? i dont know what the latest for t200 is.
Thx for all yer replies...i'll be back

@boyi - Your Mom can read the text in the Nokia 6230's screen
But I guess that's a bit small mate. Yup a acquisition is best!

Yeah my thoughts too JN,if only i cud sample my mums eyesight for a minute or 2,then i cud pick a phone for her

Wheres the cheapest place i could find a k500i? or is the screen same as t610?
Posted by Evilsummer
I think you should try to find her one of the older SE phones like the R520... huge buttons well spaced and a clear b/w screen.. you can still can find them in some stores...
Or maybe a Z600, big buttons and no fumbling about with keylock. Screen like the t630 but slightly bigger.

T630 z600 and K500 have much better screens when compared to the T610 that's for sure so check them all out.

Gave my mum a Z200, she likes it. Maybe the best thing to do would be to take your mum to a mobile shop and see which screens are readable to her?

Thx again for the replies,i'll do a little searching on the net for a z600 then,if anyone got any links to good places to buy one,or k500 then post em here,cheers
