my mom.

shes currently with cingular, and has a good plan(out of contract already too.) we dont want to change over to a new carrier or anything b/c she has accumulated well over 2000 roll over minutes that shes just starting to use. the thing is that she recently dropped her phone (motorola T720) and the screen is on the fritz. she can however answer and make calls, as long as she remembers the sequence of #'s that she has dialed haha.
i was wondering what other phone would u recommend her to get? via ebay or whatever. she has no use for a camera or any of the fancy stuff. my only guidelines were to find a new flip/clamshell phone with a large color display and bluetooth.
not many phones dont come with a camera these days, but so far i've only found the panasonic vs6, motorola V551, and motorola V540 to best fit her needs. anything similar to the old T720 in size would be ideal. she doesnt want to have to fumble around in her purse for her phone when it rings.
 
The v551 is a pretty durable phone. My friend has one and he drops his phone quite often and the phone is still working fine. I also heard that the v551 gets pretty good reception too. I think Cingular now offers the V557 as the replacement for the v551 on its phone lineup so maybe you can check the newer model out instead. My mom is currently using the Samsung E720 and she loves that phone for its relative simplicity and ease of use. The e720 is also slightly lighter and thinner than the v551. Hope this helps.
