Hy Guy's n Gals,
Looking into a new phone for me mum. It need's to be very easy to use, she only uses text's and phone calls so camera etc are not vital. A nice clear screen and largish or easy to use key's are very important.
I have looked at the Moto L6 which is great value for money but it's illogical menu isn't really suitable.
So can you tell what SE phones fit the bill and are worth getting? I've looked at the W300I, K310I and J230I so far. Any idea's?
Don't talk about the K750 etc as they are too expensive really. It will be on pay as you go.

Thanks people.

My mum got a K300I last xmas & she finds it very easy to use, The joystick is a bonus too for people with dodgy finger joints.

This is also someone who aint too hot with technology.

A K310I would be worth a look at.

my mates got that w300 - not a bad phone. I would suggest a second hand w800 or w810 however.

SE k510 is a good phone, but a little bit more expensive than k300/310 etc.

Also think the k310 would be suitable for her. Good luck.

Thanks people great responses, unfortunatley the K320I isn't on SEs UK website yet so it may not be out in time for Christmas as it will be a present, pity.
I think it may be between the J230I or the K310I, the K510I is nice but too many features for mum really.
The same for W300I but it has a nice big screen and keys.

I guess the K750. Its almost the same price as W300. K3xx series isnt good at all. K500 is another good option.

Well, the Z550 in Aus is the same price as the W300 (both equivalent to 80 pounds). Much better phone for the price IMO. Better keys than the W300, looks better and has a larger, clearer and brighter screen.
