Default Phone for my Grandma !!


I need to buy a mobile phone for my grandma. Budget-3500 Rs.
I was thinking of buying her a sony ericsson Cedar as its very easy to use, has a large screen(2.2 inch) and is bulky(so she can hold it well)
She doesnt require a camera but would like some music and play some small games on her phone.
Her old Nokia was a very cheap one with a 1.5 inch screen which was a pain for her to use.

Any suggestions ??
Should I go ahead with the Cedar ??
Or should I look at the new touch and type nokias ??
Ease of use is the primary requirement ....

I thought od the C2-02 but I thought the touch and type may be hard for her to use especially considering the small screen and her having trembling fingers

give her mobile with D-pad (easy music selection & navigation) & avoid touchscreen.

Cedar is an awesum phone! The keypad is just too good...useful to us texters! (alphanumeric keypad users). The construction is good too and matte finish means No Visible Fingerprint and Smudges! Screen brightness can also be adjusted according to need. Judging by your query, it seems that your grandma is pretty advanced (compared to the many grandma's out there)
go for SE Cedar!
But, is it available at such low price???

If she needs a simple, basic and user friendly phone, then iBall Aasaan would be my choice. It has an amazing build, large keypad and even an SOS function for the elderly.

In case you are interested in my complete review about it, check out : iBall Aasaan Senior : Review | Techrav
