Probably Peter, I just thought of accessibility and an uncluttered handset first and foremost.

Even if your mum-in-law doesn't have a sight problem as such, one of these might be more suitable as they lack a sophistication of features.

My aged mother-in-law (80 ish) does want a camera, radio, MP3 player or any of that rubbish. She simply wants a phone to make and receive calls with, and receive text messages. She's not even too bothered about sending text messages.
