Hi Guys,
I'm looking to get my mother a new mobile phone for Christmas.
I'm not sure what to get to be honest, She's in her late 40's ok ish with technology, and want to set the limit to £100 (she'll be on PAYG)
I dont know to be honest what would be the best to get her, I'm currently using a HTC Magic, and love it but not sure if a phone like this would be suitable, do you have any advice?

    May sound a daft question... but what will she use it for?

    Making calls, texting, taking pics, browsing web, Facebook/Twitter etc?
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    i doubt very much she'll use it for twitter/facebook, probably calls texting and photos at most

    What network?
  • I am your Mum's age and I love my Nokia 6303. It is simple to use, feels solid but light, good battery life. It does not have too many features which I like as I know I wouldn't use them. It gets good reviews and is 65 on Tesco PAYG with 1000 pts, really good price.
