First smartphone for my mum

Hi folks

my mum has suddenly decided that she would like a smartphone. She saw one of her friends with the SE Vivaz and loved the camera in (I'm not convinced she can tell the diff, was prob the bigger screen, lol). TBH she wouldn't really use is for the internet, just camera, games and txting I think.

anyway, I'm upgrading with t-mobile today and I was going to ask about one for her too, but which one? I don't like the Vivaz because there just seems to be too many bad reviews, I think the Wildfire might be better for her as a wee starter phone. I'd get it today too because she'd get the 3GB FUP before it runs out.

What phone would anyone suggest?

    To be honest if she wouldn't use it for the internet I wouldn't rush. Unless you use it regularly you're not going to do 500MB.
