Hi there I am new to this Forum and would like some advice.  At the moment I have a Motorola V8 which I have been  happy with but when I replace it I would like one with a large screen and with large text as I am nearly a golden oldie!  Any idea's please.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

It depends what kind of features you want? The Samsung Tocco is a pretty basic phone with a big screen. you can change the font size if you want too! However, it is a touch screen so if you dont fancy typing texts on screen then it won't be for you. 

The Nokia N96 has a really nice screen. It has some fairly techy features but its a nokia so is always pretty usable. Great video playback if you are interested!

Other phones you might want to look at are the new LG renoir (another big screen touchscreen), the HTC touch HD (Very feature rich but a beatuiful screen), Samsung Innov8 (i8510 8MP camera phone).

Thanks Matt,  I will have a look at all the phones you mentioned.  I not very keen on the touch screen phones!

No worries. The N96 or i8510 might be up your street then. Let us know how you get on!

Had a look at the Sony Erricson C905 I am quite impressed with it.  You can make the text bigger on this phone and the camera is really clear.  My contract is not up till late January but I am looking now so I will know what I want!

Yeah I really like the C905 too. It's a popular phone on Omio. Sony Ericsson have called the C905 and the Xperia their 'hero handsets'! In January you might get a good price too.

Thanks for replying again Matt.  I will let you know what phone I go for in the end if you would like to know.  Have you seen the new Motorola phone the "Aura" it's going to cost £1,200 there is no Wi-Fi no 3G and no GPS.  The memory is only 2GB and the camera is only 2 megapixels.  It does have a round screen!  I don't think I will be buying it.

Yeah, that's a few too many 0's on that price tag! You would have to be really concerned about fashion to go for that! I wouldn't go for a Motorola luxury phone anyway, if you have the cash to burn then Vertu is surely more appealing!
