Yo wife's grandma wants a mobile phone. Her body is getting pretty frail but upstairs she is bright as anything. She cant handle the charger cord on SE phones, too fidely.for her old fingers, so I need to look at other brands. Big clear buttons, good clear screen, simple menu and an easy to plug in charger socket is what she needs. Any bright ideas and home advice out there?

Brand is on concern to her as long as the phone is suitable for her needs.

ericsson has the easyest menu thats true, but if she cant handel the charger we got a problem. what about siemens? A55? or a nokia 6310i?
With Ericsson and Nokia gone: we must keep their spirits alive and buy JOLLA or YOTA |

Why doesn't her grandson-in-law buy her a P900 and power the base station up so the phone just needs docked to charge?

Your choices:
Nokia 3200, 6310i, 3510i or some clamshell.

My elderly aunt was looking for a phone with the same criteria... big easily pressed buttons, and big clear screen...
She went for the Nokia 1100 which she finds great!

Yeah the 1100 is good. But the 2100 screen is more bright and readable. The 1100 has a good message storage capacity though.
