Guys, I have for over a year now tried to find a cellphone that works for me and still nothing. I post questions but may or may not get a reply. I will post my story below but here’s what I need.
A phone that has LARGE text/fonts/numbers so that I can see what I do. Both when someone calls ME and when I DO something on the phone.
The ONLY thing I have found that’s big enough is the iPhone. Something that will let me at least HACK it so the fonts are as big or very close to the iPhone and that lets me use the whole damn screen as opposed to just small parts of it.
LOUD RINGER. The HTC Vox/S710 is the loudest I’ve heard and I love the Telephone Ring 3. It’s ear piercing AND I can hear it. I can’t hear the damn crap that’s on the iPhone. I do NOT need a cutsy ringtone. Just something LOUD and IRRITATING!
Finally, latest Bluetooth support for headsets and my hands free in my car.
I want CANDYBAR and NOT flip phone and something that is easy to dial on. Ie, NOT a Blackberry as the keys are useless to me. If I have to dial on screen as with the iPhone, so be it but it must be easy and big.
So, HUGE FONT, LOUD RINGER, Bluetooth and EASY TO DIAL!
How hard is that? Apparently it’s TOO simple
I DO NOT need Video, Music, texting, streaming or cameras. I have all that.
I LOVE the iPhone’s stuff but I can live without it.
I would LOVE a data connection so that I can get online and look up phone numbers when I drive around (I stop the car when I do) but that is NOT a must. I NEED A PHONE. I have PDA’s, Wifi laptop and an Archos 605 Wifi with 160gb of storage so I’ve got the MP3 part taken care of., I NEED a friggin’ phone and can’t find one.
The iPhone WITH the HTC RINGER would be ideal for me.
Either Verizon or a GSM (ATT) phone please. Price is of little concern nor is size.
Please help! I have now tried the LG VX9800 and I can’t see who’s calling (too small) and the ringer is not loud enough.
Switched to a SLVR and I can HEAR it but barely see who’s calling and it will NOT pick up my Hands Free in the car. I have had both of these phones replaced SEVERAL times.
I have bought and tried SEVEN different Bluetooth headsets from FOUR different mfg’s and they ALL sound like shi*!
The iPhone picks up my HF beautifully but sucks as a phone. When used handheld or with BT headsets it sucks and I can’t hear it ring!
The HTC S710 is loud enough but I can’t SEE the text and can’t find a hack for it.!
If it’ll help, I’ll send 50 bucks over paypal to anyone that will help me get the phone I want or help me hack my phone to my satisfaction! I have posted this on several forums as I’m desperate and I will only send the 50 bucks to ONE person (thought I’d say that up front) and only IF you find me get a phone. I bought the HTC from an online dealer that sells GSM and he’s looking for a phone too but regardless of the reward, I hope you guys will try to help me.
I have both the iPhone and the S710 on trial and I need to find out if I can/should keep them. iPhone goes back in a week and the HTC in two.
Thanks
George
