which phones have adjustable text size?

Hi guys, I've been reading this group for a while and i'm ready to buy a
phone so I'm looking for advice. My prob is my eyesight, I wear glasses
to read but I woudl liek to be able to use my phone without putting on my
glasses. All the new ones have stupid little buttons with tiny text so I
can't even see which key is which, to start with. Don't they know that
30% of the population needs glasses to see things that smalll? But the
bigger problem is reading txts, do any of the phones have adjustable
fonts? the guys in the tesltra shop dont' seem to know, they say they'll
find out for me but so far haven't got an answer. I really like the nokia
n80 because it has a good camera and I can read the keys but not the
screen. I want 3g and I can afford it so I don't want to have to
compromise and get a phone I can't use without my glasses. Any
suggestions?

thanks!

The N80 can do that. Have a read of the manual
http://nds2.nokia.com/files/support/...APAC_UG_en.pdf
search on font size, its where it should be, in the settings.

Yep, standard feature for pretty much all Nokia phones!

Tried responding hours ago via teranews but as usual it got lost, waste
of space that one (so ignore responses that turn up after this, from
me, it will be the same info).

Phone: take a look at the Nokai 6131. BIG buttons, easy to read,
adjustable on-screen fonts for some areas of the phone, but HUGE fonts
when you enter a number... about 22 point... or more. I just bought
one and I love that my eyes are finally happy. It has lots of other
advantages also, but those were the big things (+ bluetooth) for me.

It has a demo mode so if you think it could be a goer, ask them to demo
it (I got mine from Dick Smith $414, you can buy online for around
$390).

You can see it online at
