    My godsister is looking to replace her phone, but she's a total non-techie. Okay, technology freaks her out! LOL! :haha:

    Anyway, she's just looking for a simple phone but with the ability to take pretty good pictures that she can MMS to her clients.

    Any suggestions?

    iphone 4 is probably the best for mass consumers.

    Believe it or not, she isn't comfortable with the iPhone. She also cannot understand what people see in Apple devices. LOL!! :haha: :haha:

    IMHO, she's the Nokia 3310 type of crowd. :)

    Yup. I was thinking of Nokia's mid-range phones too. Any particular model in mind? Or are they all pretty much the same thing these days..?

    Dang... I forgot her budget. :wall:

    But hey, I think she can afford RM 1K, if it's a good phone and easy for her to use.

    Can i hijack the thread? Or should i start a new thread? :wave:

    My brother is planning to buy a phone for my dad and he is asking me to find a suitable phone. My dad is still using nokia 3310 atm.:faint:

    The budget is around 1k. I'm planning to get a non-touchscreen phone for him. Nokia brand with good camera is preferable as i think my dad will have a hard time learning to sms using other brand. :lol:

    symbian can be quite hard. unless ur just doing the normal stuff,

    would think about symbian 40. hybrid of a normal phone + smartphone
