hi, i'm planning to get my grandmother a new hp. she's currently using a samsung flip hp but the buttons are so small which makes it hard for her to type text messages and make calls.

do you guys know any handphones with large n easy to see buttons and huge screen ? could be any brand but preferably Samsung.

and if possible i want the phone to be as basic as possible, no camera, but must have colored screen and easy to find

How about Nokia 1616?

i just googled it, i think the buttons are too small, almost same size with her current hp's buttons

Does she know how to use touch screen gadget? If yes, I suggest Samsung Galaxy Tab...

haha i think thats way too fancy for her, not too mention expensive too

btw speaking of that i just realize that all touchscreen phones have huge screens n the buttons that appear inside the screen are quite large too

so i think i'm gonna buy her a touch screen phone, what is the most basic touch screen phone available ?

Try samsung corby...

wah i think that phone is suitable for her plus its available in pink color too, she said she want a pink phone if possible, thanks for suggesting it

but i think the screen is quite small lah, any other basic touch screen phones like that but with larger screen?

how about this bro...

Hye,

Just want to share with you, on 1day b4 CNY's eve i bought a phone for my grandmother..she was struggling with Nokia phones or phones that with small letters and small sreens because u old already ma...so i did some survey & bought a better phone for her..

Touch Screen = Not good for old ppl, because it is not easy to learn for old ppl

Color Screen = It is not that important afterall, because the phone is purely for outgoing & incoming calls

The most important for them is :-

1. LARGE screen
2. LARGE keypad
3. LOUD sound for incoming calls & outgoing
4. EASY to use the phone.

They dont need fancy fancy types of phones actually.. i eventually decided to buy this phone from her, i did pretendly asked her, do she like the phone u showed her in my laptop..she said ok, nice big keypads..so i have no doubts, and i purchased the phone back home, do some protection on her phone like screen protector & all around the phone..then i set everything nicely for her, then i present it to her..

Although the phone is not SUPER expensive like RM 1-2k but she was happy enough as she loves the phone more than the previous phone she was using..okay, enough of craps, i bought her this phone.



p/s : She is 77yrs old this year, with NO short sighted just old vision problem (like cant see small things) & she is still driving my Saga Blm (MANUAL) to market, sometimes she drives out at night to fetch my cousin's..

As u mentioned touch screen phone shall not be a problem for her. My dad is also around that age he is using Nokia 5800XM currently and also use iPod touch frequently. He also have abit of long sighted so sometimes he use spectacles...

I see techy+rich father

Hehe not as rich as u think...

INO.

So bro, did u get your phone?

thanks for ur sugeestion bro, come to think of it, yea you're right coz i'm not really sure if my granny can use touch screen hp or not
