Hi there, I am looking to buy a new mobile for my dad- he currently has my old samsung E720 from way back! However it is far too small now and the battery life is non existent.

Now that he's a grandad (awwww) I would like to be able to send him photos of his grandson and hopefully teach him how text!!! ( he literally uses it as a phone just Now)

Any suggestions for a phone that is easy to see and use would be really appreciated xxx

Is it needed for any specific network?

Myself i often find some touchscreen phones, the menus etc are more simpler for some, with big buttons to tap. Thats if your Dad would use a touchscreen!

Have a look at the Nokia C5, it has a decent sized screen with quite large buttons.

A great simple Nokia with very easy to use menus and keypad.

how about this nokia its the latest nokia got big buttons so its good for people that are not good with phones plus the fun side of touch screen. http://shop.nokia.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...02;50606711;c?

The Samsung he has more than sounds up to the job.

Send him a text next time you are with him and show him how to reply.
It is very hard to teach an old dog new tricks so you need to catch him in a willing mood.
