Mobile phone for fat fingers?

Micamaca · 19-01-2010 12:52AM #1

Apologies if this thread has already been posted. I'm on the market for a new mobile phone. I want something with a decent keypad for my chubby fingers, since I spend most of my time texting rather than talking.

Any recommendations from new phones for people with not so slim fingers?

I supposed I asked for this. Am I the only person who gets frustrated having to text something, only to delete and correct it several times...Am I!! Be honest now.

get a touch phone, you get a stick with it to type, then you can be like homer simpson!

Are we starting to see a softer side to mink_man?
:P

There's some threads about old people needing phones with big buttons. Maybe that'd do?

@minkman I'll have a look at those then and try to swally my pride

I'm currently on a sony ericsson of some sort. It's a few years old now.

@20/20 just because I'm a northsider, does that mean I qualify for more abuse! I'm digitally challenged, not blind :P

Op, try one of the Doros. They are big button phones . Available sim-free for around 100 yoyos at www.amazon.co.uk or www. technikdirekt.de

Some touchscreen phones have fairly big numbers when you put it in number-entry mode ("T9").
Specifically I'm thinking the Nokia 5800 ?
