Okay, I need the help of all you phone experts out there. Or rather, my Mum does. She has an old Nokia 3210 which she uses for the ocassional phone call and text. Nothing else. No need to. It would just confuse her (by her own admission. I'm not just being cruel behind her back or anything!). However, it is begining to die and obviously not worth repairing. So, the simple solution would be to get her a 3410 free as a contract renewal and, from what I understand, she will barely even notice the difference when using it.
EXCEPT, being a clever son, and knowing how much she hates using both T9 and multitap (she keeps sending me garbled text messages) I thought I could get her a phone with a built in QWERTY keyboard, making her life (and mine) much easier.
Now, ideally, this would be a phone which works in the same way as the one she has ('cause I'm not sure I have the patience to teach her how to use anything too difficult) but just with the addition of a QWERTY keyboard.
The Nokia 68** series leaps out straight away as fitting the bill exactly. Except that to get the latest 6820 on contract over here (the Isle of Man) will cost �125! Extele will do a 6800 for about �110 and I can't get hold of a 6810 for less than �180. Which all seems hugely expensive just to replace a fading 3210.
So, can anyone think of any other phones that would fit the bill (and, preferably, that I can get for less than �125 - as I say, she hardly uses the thing!) or does anyone know where I can get a 6800 series phone for less?
Thanks in advance.
