not the 1100. bad feedback from old custumors.
3150i haha worst collorscreen phone ever. you've got to be extremely stupid to buy it.
if she's got money i would also suggest the z600, good feedback from old people who want a big sceen, big buttons, easy to use, great battery and something the grandchilderen can play with

Hey, donīt forget the charger issue! I know how it is with older people, i too have an old grandma and i were to get her a mobile iīd go for a Nokia (older model) they canīt be beat for simplicity *and in this case itīs a good thing* 
Charger, menus and all.

My advice is a nokia 3310. I mean its got no color or really big screen but its ideal. Plus its drop safe. I actually tried to see how far i could drop one without it being destroyed. All the bloody thing's got is a scratch.....Simple menu....cheap fone. Should be ideal.

bad feedback of old people on 1100/2100/3310/xxxx
screen is poor, the old people don't like the buttons on the 1100/2100/3510. 3310-3410 is ok but again poor screen.
some old people are willing to pay alot and they want a phone that will last for some years, they want a great battery, big buttons, big clear screen (color would be nice) and also a strong phone. and strangely the Z600 is getting alot of votes.
6310i is also nice. T100 also because of the easy menu, but not everybody likes the "small" buttons.
old people are people that are 60-xxx

Thanks guys for all the good advice.
I'll take 'em all into concideration but I must admit I'm leaning towards the idea of a  or /// with a desk top charger.
The idea of her with an N-gage is quit facinating though

My Grandma just bought a Sendo M550. Simple flip phone, that you plug the charger in the only hole in the phone, no bending or anything! You open the flip, dial the number/ scroll though the phone book, press call, talk, shut the flip to end and put away... simple! And the ringtones are fairly loud! A very simple phone IMO
And, in the UK it was only Ģ50!
