| 1138384 | 2010-09-20 02:25:00 | I'm thinking about giving 2degrees a try which means a new phone. Apparently my Telecom Sanyo SCP7050 is no good for them. Shame because its rubberised, flip, and tough. My needs are simple. A phone which works. Not as easy as it sounds when I discovered that Palms, Blackberries etc don't like being away from strong urban signals. Such as in Central Otago. I'd like a screen large enough to read without a microscope. Buttons which can be pressed ie. slightly raised profile. Any recommendations please? |

| 1138387 | 2010-09-21 01:33:00 | I think the important term you give is 'simple' Have a look at the el-cheapo samsung, nokias that "Warehouse Stationary" sell for around $50. Big(ish) buttons, & simple to use (as they do b8gger all except be a phone) |

Have it myself, main thing is, it is simple as to use, has been dropped several times and still goes, been through countless airport radar screenings and dust storms and wet humidity, never missed a beat, and it is not locked to the 2degree or any other network so I regually swap sim cards as I travel. |

| 1138389 | 2010-09-21 07:36:00 | I just bought a Nokia 1800. I love the fact I can go 2 weeks without charging it. It would be better if it had raised buttons, but the flat buttons aren't too bad. | Greven (91) | ||

| 1138392 | 2010-09-22 22:10:00 | It's not that complicated. And it meets the criteria of raised buttons and a large(-ish) screen... | johcar (6283) | ||
