    I know this thread has probably been beat to death before, but with the ever
    changing selection of phones available from Cingular, what is the best basic
    phone available?

    I need to replace both of my parent's Nokia 3595's. My mother has a mild
    degree of hearing loss and my dad has large, slightly arthritic hands. With
    these things in mind, my main considerations are a clear, loud earpiece and
    large keypad (or at least one that is easy to dial).

    Camera, MP3 player, Internet browsing ability, etc. are all
    unimportant....Bluetooth might be useful, especially for my mother to enable
    her to use an earpiece.

    Thanks,
    Rodney

    The phone closest in position to the Nokia 3595 is the 6030. It is smaller
    and uses the newer Nokia menu system, but performs very well. However, the
    keypad and 4-way navigation buttons might be hard on arthritic hands, so
    perhaps your parents could try one out in a Cingular store. It does not
    have Bluetooth.
