Hi folks..
Now this is some real test. i've gotta choose a mobile for my Great Grandmother, she's around 97 yrs young. she can barely hear, n has her eyesight gettin dimmer by the minute.
she's head over heels on the iphone, but i conviced her that it doesn't really suit her. she zeroed in on a Vertu, but i insisted that its use is certainly against her condition.
help me out guys, i'm in a real dilemma!
n yeah, she's also lost all her teeth n u can hardly catch what she speaks,n ofcourse , she's too weak even to lift a morsel of food upto her mouth...

What a "techie" great grandmother!!! :)) A cordless phone with a good speakerphone and speed dial facility is the best option!!

Samsung & Motorola phones suit her i suppose.

But how would she use it anyway... "she's too weak even to lift a morsel of food upto her mouth..."
And r u uber rich or something... u GGMom wants an iphone or a Vertu!!! Even Ambani's mom'll think twice about it!!!

Wow. That is one high tech granny.

+1 for Moto Fone. It's text display is nice and large.
