Hi friends,

I am looking to buy a phone for my aunty.
Requirements are very basic :
1. She needs a good keypad as her fingers are slightly large,
2. Good (large) screen would be comfortable.

My budget is 3.5k.

After browsing, I have decided upon Nokia X2-02 and I am planning to buy it tomorrow.
Can you suggest me if there are any other phone I should consider in my budget? Is my decision correct?

first check the Nokia. if the keypad is fine, go for it else Samsung C3530 is another option to decide from.

C3530 is a very good phone, I bought it for my dad a long time back.
Get it in Red Wine color.

C3530 looks good but is it's keypad comfortable for large hand ??
Moreover, how does it fare in comparison to Nokia x2 02 ??

It has 3.2 MP camera which is better than My Nokia 5800 camera.
Samung C3530 has other useful features like conversation in sms, call/sms blocking, sound quality is good aswell. Keypad buttons are big.

Only Con - the Accept and Reject Buttons dont have lights on it.

You can download just two apps and get these features on any phone :p

but the con is major ..especially during the night
