Please help me find the right phone! $50 REWARD for help!


Guys, I have for over a year now tried to find a cellphone that works for me and still nothing. I post questions but may or may not get a reply. I will post my story below but here’s what I need.

A phone that has LARGE text/fonts/numbers so that I can see what I do. Both when someone calls ME and when I DO something on the phone.
The ONLY thing I have found that’s big enough is the iPhone. Something that will let me at least HACK it so the fonts are as big or very close to the iPhone and that lets me use the whole damn screen as opposed to just small parts of it.

LOUD RINGER. The HTC Vox/S710 is the loudest I’ve heard and I love the Telephone Ring 3. It’s ear piercing AND I can hear it. I can’t hear the damn crap that’s on the iPhone. I do NOT need a cutsy ringtone. Just something LOUD and IRRITATING!

Finally, latest Bluetooth support for headsets and my hands free in my car.

I want CANDYBAR and NOT flip phone and something that is easy to dial on. Ie, NOT a Blackberry as the keys are useless to me. If I have to dial on screen as with the iPhone, so be it but it must be easy and big.

So, HUGE FONT, LOUD RINGER, Bluetooth and EASY TO DIAL!
How hard is that? Apparently it’s TOO simple 

I DO NOT need Video, Music, texting, streaming or cameras. I have all that.
I LOVE the iPhone’s stuff but I can live without it.
I would LOVE a data connection so that I can get online and look up phone numbers when I drive around (I stop the car when I do) but that is NOT a must. I NEED A PHONE. I have PDA’s, Wifi laptop and an Archos 605 Wifi with 160gb of storage so I’ve got the MP3 part taken care of., I NEED a friggin’ phone and can’t find one.

The iPhone WITH the HTC RINGER would be ideal for me.

Either Verizon or a GSM (ATT) phone please. Price is of little concern nor is size.

Please help! I have now tried the LG VX9800 and I can’t see who’s calling (too small) and the ringer is not loud enough.
Switched to a SLVR and I can HEAR it but barely see who’s calling and it will NOT pick up my Hands Free in the car. I have had both of these phones replaced SEVERAL times.
I have bought and tried SEVEN different Bluetooth headsets from FOUR different mfg’s and they ALL sound like shi*!

The iPhone picks up my HF beautifully but sucks as a phone. When used handheld or with BT headsets it sucks and I can’t hear it ring!

The HTC S710 is loud enough but I can’t SEE the text and can’t find a hack for it.!

If it’ll help, I’ll send 50 bucks over paypal to anyone that will help me get the phone I want or help me hack my phone to my satisfaction!

I have both the iPhone and the S710 on trial and I need to find out if I can/should keep them. iPhone goes back in a week and the HTC in two.

Thanks

George

Verizon is coming out with the new LG VX10000 that might be just what your looking for. It is a somewhat rip-off of the Iphone as the front is simular with the whole thing being a screen and also a touch screen just like the iphone.

Bossdragon.

If they do the same thing as with the 9800 that still wont matter. Both screens were big enough that if they had USED the whole screen width, i would have been able to use the phone but they only had everything in the middle, very small and nothing but a bunch of free space. How the hell does that makes sense?

Also, the 9800 had the speaker on the inside so I could never hear it when it rings.

Look at this picture and you'll see that they still don't seem to make use of the whole screen... LG's VX10000 and VX8800 touchscreen spyshots - Engadget

Good tip though and I really liked my 9800 except for the above problems.
Any idea WHEN it's coming out?

THanks

The phone in that picture is NOT the VX10000. It's the VX8800.

Here is the 10000. Says it comes out on Nov 18.

Yeah, I saw that, thanks.

Hey guys, I have decided to probably wait a couple of months because the guy I got my Vox from has all kinds of cool phones coming in a month or two so I'll wait to see if I can get something that REALLY suits me. I love the iPhone but sound quality is crap and ring volume is ridiculous. IF they fix it in the next version (around December) I might get it.
The numbers are HUGE, easy to dial and the web implementation is the best I've seen.

Now, if they fix the ringer and let me put my own in, I'll be set.

I will therefore officially put this thread on HOLD for awhile. To those that replied, thank you very much.

I will still be open for suggestions but don't want to yank anyone's chain considering I'll probably be looking at something imported.

Thanks

George
