I have a friend who is confined to a wheelchair, and only has very limited use of his hands/arms. He is after a new phone, but it needs to be one with separate buttons, like on the old Nokia 3210.

He needs separated buttons as believe it or not, he uses his teeth to press the buttons! The problem with a lot of current phones is the keypad is 'one piece' like with my C905, or all the buttons are together like on the Nokia 2630. These kinds of keyboards aren't any use to him as his teeth slide around the keyboard making it hard for him to press the buttons.

The nearest I've found so far is the SE T280, though not sure if he'd have a problem with the joypad on that phone.

Can you think of any good phones for him? He mainly only uses the phone for calls and texts so a low spec phone would be fine.
