My Dad's just managed to sell his Samsung Tocco Ultra to a friend. He hated the phone. Before that he had the Nokia 5800 which he didn't get on with either.

So, can anyone recommend a new(ish), up to date, decent phone that is not a touch screen, and pretty easy to use. Oh and he would like a pretty big screen.

It will have to be pay as you go, as he still has a contract out on the 5800 and is using the sim in another phone.

He got £100 for his Tocco so that's about his budget, though he would add more to it.

Thanks

    If you want pretty big screen, then you can have touch screen only. Otherwise keyboard eats up the space.

    I second Nokia E71 too. 2.36 inch screen and keyboard for easier typing.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
