Suggest an 'Easy to use' nokia/sony mobile for my Dad

[raksrules]

Suggest a mobile phone for my dad.
Main requirements are-
1. Very easy to use UI.
2. Either Nokia or Sony Ericsson only.
3. FM Radio is required.
4. Good loud ringtones
5. Recurrent alarm would be an additional advantage...although not a compulsion
6. Large numbers on display.
7. Buttons should be protruding so they are easily recognizable and pressable.

MP3 player, camera, edge etc are not at all required as they would not be used..
Budget is max 3K... Cheaper the better

The best "phone only" phone I find is SE T700 but it also has camera etc & costs 11k.

Look for SE T280 or SE K320i. If you don't want a color screen etc then why don't you simply buy him Nokia 1200.

+1 for T280 but it dont have an expansion slot and 10mb memory

Man increase ur budget to get 3110c..coz its the cheapest to have memory card and mp3 player

3110c...

 

[raksrules]

3110c has MP3 player camera etc
i dont need features like mp3 player, camera since my dad will never user them. He just needs a simple to use phone for making and receiving calls and occasional SMS.

okk then T280 is best for u

If i UP my budget a bit...would anyone suggest me to go with SE w200i for my dad ???
Does it fit my specifications ??
what is its current price in market (especially Alfa)


PS: I have a w800i for past 3 years and refuse to leave it

 

[gxsaurav]

Your father does not need Music capability so why do you want to buy W200i? the SE T280 fits his phone needs fine.

I suggest
Nokia 1605...the best for ur dad i guess

source:even i had this situation to buy a simple cell for my dad ... now hes happy with it for its simplicity n battery...lol my dad doesn't know to send sms...he jus read sms n answers call...he he

lol my dad doesn't know to send sms...he jus read sms n answers call...he he

Same with my mom & dad also...

yaar w200i looks funky and does not look good to elders.

@gopi_vbboy :are u talking abt 1650......yup I too feel that if u want a simplest of all Nokia 1650 @ Rs.1800 is good enough
