Looking for a new phone for 'the dad'

    Hi folks,

    So he has been using a k750i but I'd say at this stage he can barely see the damn screen. Due to the nature of his work; the phone is going to get very dusty/dirty very quickly so I'm looking for a replacement that will survive a while with him.

    I'm not up to date with whats on the market at the minute.

    So durable/cleanable.
    Memory slot

    two main ones; not too pushed about manu but he's used to nokia/SE phones and I'd rather not have to spend 2 weeks trying to show him how to use a diff make! :P

    thanks

    oh..price range..well, I'm not looking for a smart phone, so circa €100-120 maybe

    I think that box is a multi volt battery.

    Get a nokia 6233 on meteor for him, my dads been through a lot of phones, he even had a viewty for 6mts, he did nothing but complain, there's really only 3 phones for dad. 6300, 6233 or the auld traditional 6310i, he'll be the envy of his friends with one of those:)

    How do either of them hold up to dust and stuff.

    I don't know how he can even see the screen on his current one anymore for all teh **** packed into the body of the phone :/

    I guess a case will do him for the phone...

    They all should hold up well, you can pick up a 6300 for €89 on 02 upgrade for him....it's probably last until next xmas......6233 or 6310i should last him for about 3 years..
