I am looking to upgrade my current cell phone, a Samsung 427 as I am not happy with the reception I get with it, having to move by windows and even going outside just to get a bar or two (I live in a rural area, in town the phone works fine). My wife upgraded several months ago to a Nokia 6010 which gets much better reception than my Samsung but the numbers on the screen are so small compared to my 427.
So what I am looking for is a cell phone with the best possible reception in rural areas being #1 priority. (I'm with Cingular). #2 priority-- Text and numbers that are not as small as the few Nokia models I have seen. Everybody I talked with says Nokia has the best reception for rural areas and if this is so are there any models that anyone can recommend that has both reception and larger numbers than the 6010?
Also since the Cingular store I visited has only a limited selection of Nokias would I be able to buy one elsewhere (maybe ebay) and have it work for me?

How well that works depends on the phone, though. My wife has a 6100,
and she finds even the largest font on that is smaller than she'd like
it to be.

Thanks for the reply. What I was talking about was mainly numbers on the display when you either key them in to dial a number or the number on the phone when receiving an incoming call. I did not know about changing the font sizes, will this work on menu items as well or is it just for text messaging?
Thanks again,
Michael
