Basic Mobile help

My other half has a very basic Nokia mobile, it does all she wants but the screen is to small. I want to buy her a new phone, not easy as she wont have a smart phone, gave her my old Moto G 2 to try but she gave it back after a day. So looking for a keypad phone with a decent size screen, candy bar or clamshell, not easy to find in shops. Doro do some nice ones, but shes not an OAP, and i know for a fact she would not want one. Prefer to buy new, and if possible from decent dealer, not keen on Ebay. Any help appreciated

    For a really 'basic' phone you can take a risk and not exclude all sellers except 'decent'.

    The only modern smartphones with keyboard I know are Blackberry, but they are far from being 'basic'.

    Pretty basic and not really 'smart' are

    Some clamshells:

    You can find it for ~£130+, but from not very reputable retailers.
