Hi,

My brother is looking for a top end phone which he can use to send texts easily. I have noticed on some phones that the keypad is fairly small. So can anyone recommend a phone that he can text like a mad man without having any troubles?

Thanks in advance!

    i personally love nokias, however the keypads on the more recent ones are tiny and my manicured nalis- a lil too long! so my fave nokia is the 6230 or if u want a latest model i would suggest the Lg chocolate flip U830

    good luck:P

    i would recommend the sony ericsson k800i, 3.2mp autofocus camera (with xenon flash) + video recording, fm radio + mp3 playback etc.

    a very high spec phone, and also sony ericssons are very easy to use

    Agreed SE phones are not bad to text with - button wise. the new nokias are useless
    We all evolve - get on with it

    To be honest Ive found once your used to a phone then it doesnt matter about the keys! Im about to get the SE w880i and the keys are tiny but after playing with it for a while I started to get used to it and now think its going to be ok.

    But Ive found the SE very good for ease of use (just got my dad one and he loves it, reckons its much easier than the nokia he had). Maybe look at the new cybershot one? Or one of the walkman ones?

    Are the buttons not fairly small on the K800i?

    A new range of phone are coming out very soon, right? I heard that a few are coming out...not sure what models though.

    I remember when the cybershot, W850i, D900 and a few others all came out around the same time, hope they have one of those waves again, looking to buy a new phone, the ones on the market are total pants other than the W850i IMO.
