| Stylish non-smartphone Posted: 01 Jul 2013 09:37 PM PDT Hi, So I need to chose a good phone for my mother(40years, no problems with eyes or anything like that). It should be a non-smartphone as she doesn't need 3G or anything. Complicated things will only confuse her. The only things that are must are a good-looking screen, good enough mp3 sound, no qwerty, preferably not a slider. I tried to look for such phones online, but can't find anything good. Any ideas? Thanks.  |
