Nature, my brother bought my mum/dad a video+ recorder (it's a video where you type in a number published in the paper for each programme and it sets itself) but she even finds that too confusing.

I'll have a look, thanks. I have no budget limit but I need something really simple and I guess that will mean relatively cheap. It's no use me getting her something with camera/mp3/games etc.; she'll get sacred and decide it's too complicated without even trying.

How about a T100? I don't think they're too hard to use, not too many features, and a nice little phone.
Failing that, the Nokia 1100 as many have suggested before, easy to use, even has a little flashlight too!

The Siemens A60 on Virgin at £39.99 looks like a good bet.

just so you know cpw do the n1100 on all nets for 30 quid (50 on o2)if you buy a tenner of credit at the same time (so 40 quid then)!
the phone is just a standard unbranded one with a sim pack thrown in seperatly so you could just buy it and if you really want it on 02 just buy a cheap sim somewhere else or put an old one in.
ive been playing campaign snake non stop since i bought it. my mum might not get a present this year!

Thanks, Nature. Is the 1100 really easy to use? Are SMS easy to read? My mum is really technophobic.

have you used an 8210? because it is an 8210 basically!
the two biggest differences are the torch and snake 2 instead of 1.
obviously there are minor software changes but nothing drastic.
i havent tried texting to/ from it yet, ill try after i finish work and let you know,but im assuming itll be the same as the 8210.

3210 then?
everyone used them!
the 1100 calls and texts. thats it!
the most advanced thing on this phone is the flashlight! otherwise we might as well be back in 1998!
i think the biggest problem your mum will have will be the same as mine, learning how to store and recieve numbers.
i cant wait for my mum to put the phone face down on the table after a call and expect it to hang up!

This one will be suitable for your mum and I think she'll like the shape and size (Sony Ericsson Z200):
Or one of these two new release of low-end phones from Sony Ericsson (T290i and J200i):
 
Apple iPhone 4, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Sensation, HTC Inspire 4G, HTC Desire S, HTC Wildfire, S001, SO905iCS, T650 (Gold & Green), C901, W800, K660, K700, Beibei (G702), Severine (DEAD) |
