Need phone for mom with big keys

So I bought the LG from my previous post but now my mom wants a phone as well. I'm looking for a GSM phone with big keys(the numbers have to big, no problem with the letters) so she doesn't have to take out her reading glasses each time to punch in the numbers. I kid you not.

Moto V635 had big keys with good feedback. The Motorola RAZR also has big keys, but there is not such a good feedback

When I had the Razr she wasn't a big fan of it so no to that. I'll look into the V635. Thanks. Any others?

basically, clamshells will have the biggest keypads by their nature, but the Vxxx series are the best because they did not really go for much style back then, in other words the numbers were in straight rows and columns. So beyond the V635, and Vxxx series will work. Can't think of much else right now

Thanks. I looked in to the V635 and it seems like it could work. Now all I have to do is find a store where I can look at it in person.

hmm, good luck, You might want to try something like the V360 instead since I think a lot of carriers have it, and its newer and has and easier charging port. I think the keys are still very nice and large too. Also, I'm not sure about yours, but my mom would never use expanable memory, an LED flash, EDGE, or have use for a better camera, so, with the V360 you're not paying for features you probably won't need. Just a thought

I checked out both the 360 and 635 and they seem to be going for the same prices on eBay. I am looking to buy new and unlocked and there seems to be a shortage on the V360's being unlocked. I'm going to keep an eye out for both though. Thanks for the suggestions.

Also the Nokia 6103 or 6101 might be a good choice, nice large and simple keys on it
