Well usually i buy phones and pcs for my joint family as they dont have time to choose , today grandpa brought the worst problem.
This is how it goes he was using a Nokia 1100 for last 4 years ,a long lasting one but yesterday it stopped working , took it to service center but in vain.
Searched every phone shop for old stock buy there is no available.
Now i have to buy another nokia like c1 and try to help him how to use it ,no problem for me but he got too used to the keypad layout and no other phone has that kind of keypads.
i ball assan/senior is crap , please suggest me a easy to use nokia model (better if monochrome), or some way to teach him faster because it may take several months for him to get used to it , as he is no too good in new things like remotes and phones.

you should try the samsung metro series of alphanumeric keypad phones....theyre cheap, have a comfortably large keypad and screen font and excellent build quality...at least this is what i gifted my grandfather :-D
