It was ca 2 years ago when father asked me 4 a fone. I presented him only alternative, /// . I teached him on my 388 making calls, sending sms. Since that time he reached d next level in practice, so i gave him d A1018 as reward. He is getting better, soon he ll get d r320. How was it in ur family? Was it easy or hard 2 teach ur mom or dad?

My mom got a T610. She handled her old nokia quite well, but I think the T610 is a bit advanced for her... She still sends SMS and MMS and stuff, but right now I'm instructing her over MSN messenger on how to email pictures to herself

I asked my parents couple of times why dont they use mobile phones,they answered that they dont need them right now. I guess when they feel the need they will buy them a cellular :-l This message was posted from a T68i

I taught both my parents, and they learnt pretty fast. They were both using Motorolas and both had the same problem: They could not erase SMS, so the phone would get full. So each time I go visit them, they both ask me to empty their phones memory.
But...
Mom asks me not to tell Dad she can't do it...
and Dad asks me not to tell Mom he can't!

i got my father a nokia 3650. he LOVES it. yea its a nokia, but its symbian. he takes pictures and uploads them to his PC via a bluetooth dongle i set up for him. he checks his POP3 for his business with the nice built-in email client, and has the unlimited GPRS on t-mobile so he listens to serbian internet radio the whole day. drains battery like crazy, but he's just got it hooked to a charger, really enjoys it since he can listen to serbian music, hear our news and football games and all that.

i got a my mother a siemens c56 (american version of c55). she likes it a lot because it is small. all she can do is call and send some SMSs. she asks me each time how to add a new contact to her phonebook!

going even furth...i just sent my grandmother (who lives in yugoslavia) a t68! she loves it a lot. i printed out a manual in serbian and flashed with R8A that has serbian language o it so she can understand the phone. i put some pictures of us on it so now she's able to change the wallpaper when she wants, make calls, and send SMS to us here in the US. she's old but still learns much better than my mother!

Gosh, wish I was that lucky. Luckily, I taught my wife how to use T9. Took a while there. However, my dad literally uses his phone as a phone. He doesn't know how to send text messages or anything else cool like that. His phonebook, last I checked was empty. Geez!

As for my mother, she isn't gonna get a cellphone until the prices drop, she says. Oh well, at least I know how to use a cellphone to the best of its ability!!!
