Spec me a phone for my Dad - Need answers asap pls

AFK_Matrix · 23 May 2006 at 16:47

Hi,

Ok my dad is searching for a new phone and he has the following requirements:

Big Screen which has a crisp display
Can make the numbers go big
Bluetooth
Keys that arn't too small to press - he has large fingers
Pay as you go
Can be a flip or slide phone

He isn't worried about the latest features at all and doesn't mind if its a slightly older phone as long as it has that big screen. Now with these PDA style phones with the stylus can you use ** fingers instead of the stylus as he wants to put this by him in the car and be able to use it without the stylus.

Thanks

Nokia 6230i perhaps?

Try sagem, iirc about two years ago they made a phone with massive screen, im not sure if there wasa follow up/replacement to it though.

6210. you may have trouble finding one, as they are discontinued. But they are easy to use have big screen & buttons.

Hmm from the pics of those phones they have small screens :confused:

I am talking PDA sized screens if possible?

i can't imagine there being a phone with pda sized screens and massive buttons, they would be massive - the demand wouldn't be too great..

N70 has big keys and a very nice screen. Will be expensive on PAYG though.

6280 fits his bill perfectly, screen is huge

Bright, vibrant etc...

You can use whatever you want to control the pdas. The buttons are all on screen so you can just use your fingers.

Nice idea, not always that easy though imo.

Not for everything, but for the phone application it works fine.

well we will have to agree to disagree on that one. You can do it but its by no meens easy. And I dont fancy someones chances if they hae large fingers.

Energize · 24 May 2006 at 02:40

Well the buttons are larger than on a phone keypad.
