My dad is looking for a new phone, and he wants one with large font so he can read the texts without having to put his reading glasses on

He currently has a N95 8GB, and my mums 6300 text size is too small also

Has anyone got a Blackberry pearl and is the text on that a good size?

He's a pain in the arse because the phone has to be compatible with his car also so some phones he won't have

He doesn't like having to put them on to read a text, he only uses them for reading documents in work etc

His car kit is just the normal one built into the new M3's, so phones suggested here i'll check out and have a look if they are compatible

Think he has found a phone, the Nokia 6300 has text that is easily readable without glasses on, so he's looking at these three

Blackberry Pearl, Nokia 6300, Iphone

Nokia 6300 is a brilliant phone if he doesn't need any of the fancy features.

Made of metal like the E series phones as well so a lot better built than a standard plastic phone.

Does it have Bluetooth in the car, or is it a fitted Handsfree kit (such as the Bury Technologies one) where you can change the adaptor?

You can increase it to quite a large size for the messages.

same with 6500slide/classic

6300 is a fantastic phone! I have a 6301 which is basicly the same with a tad more memory and marginaly more modern software.

Its one of the best phones produced tbh
