Hey, my old man needs a new phone. He's been using the Nokia 3310 for a few years now and liked it pretty much. He now needs a new phone and these are the only criteria:
-very simple and easy to use
-no cam
-no tiny buttons
-no fancy features
-excellent reception
Can anyone come with some suggestions! Brand does not matter but I think he would continue with Nokia.
Thanks!

What about the Nokia 3595? Even though its 2/5, and 8/0 buttons are together, they seem to be bigger than most phones. My sister has it on cingular, and she gets pretty good reception on it, usually a little better than my T616.

the simplest phone on the market right now is probably the nokia 1100.
it's really a very basic phone - not even colour screen. not really sure about keypad design for your father, but you should be able to figure it out.
you may want to consider the nokia 2100, or SE t105

I agree for 2100 and you may consider 3410.It has really great reception.

i would think a very low-end nokia would suit him best since it would be very similar in operation to what he is used to, and he may have difficulty adjusting to a different UI.

Nokia 3410 is similar to 3310,it has only few improvements. I just dont know will it work in the us. But i doubt it will :-(

here is a link to
nokia usa
from the looks of things there i would suggest either the 1100, 2260 or 3395 (which looks identical to the 3310 and has hearing aid support, but has quite a few "advanced" features by comparison).
i think the 1100 is the winner, though (btw - it uses both 1900 and 850 bands)
