hi,

i am currently looking for a new mobile phone, but having poor sight, i am finding it difficult to find a handset with large enough font. i particularly need large font in the contacts list so i can see who i am calling.

does anyone know of any mobile phones which may be of some use to me?

thanks

I seems the trend to make mobile phones smaller at present, but i would look more at the contrast between text and background, as this will also help.

I dont know how you like style and up-to-date technology but some older phones arequite good. Nokia 3210 for example, about 5 years old but you can still ring and text and has large fonts I believe.

Pop into your nearest phone shop and they'll help you better

i'm mainly looking for a phone with bluetooth. i currently have a nokia 6170, which is fine, but it doesn't have bluetooth. most of the really new phones which use the simbian operating system tend to have small fonts, so i can't really go for any of them.

i've been to the link, o2 and vodafone, but they don't know much about phones with large fonts.

Make sure when you go for a phone you tell them all the features you want and don't let them make you have the dearest.
