| 480405 | 2006-08-24 09:13:00 | My mother's cell phone is all but dead, but she doesn't want to upgrade because all the new phones are too small for her. Is it possible to get a new cellphone designed for people with less than perfect eyesight, or will she have to buy off trademe? It is even difficult to find a working old cellphone on trademe. |

| 480407 | 2006-08-24 09:43:00 | Maybe a Vodafone Simply (www.vodafone.co.nz)? Edit: Engadget has some photos: www.engadget.com |

Mind you, it is not as large as those bricks of yesteryear, but larger than the typical 'shirt pocket' tiny ones. Greven, does your mum just want to talk on the phone (and not text, pxt, etc)? If so, remind her that you could enter phone numbers into Speed Dial mode so that all she has to do is press one button. I can think of several mums and grandmums in their 50s and 60s who can use small cellphones with no trouble - but they have to use reading glasses. |
