Facebook phone

Our kids are overseas and my wife constantly checks their facebook but her phone display is small and she has to put her glasses on to read.
What cellphone can I get her to get a bigger display?

She only does Facebook and sms's

HTC Touch HD2 or an Iphone, if screen size is the only factor...alternatively the Blackberry 8520 also has a nice facebook app, plus you score on the free blackberry internet service and the qwerty keypad for sms and facebooking. Plus it's cheaper than the HTC and iphone 3gs. Think it's free on most leisure contracts.

My wife's not into smart phones as all she does is sms and facebook. It will be a waste of money to get one of these. I want to buy it cash and she can use her contract sim in it.
Looking at something like LG 500 or LG 360.

I have an iPhone and I have never used Facebook like it before.. even on my other touch phones.. it is not even close... I import them if you want me to organize one for you

In your case I'd go with the BlackBerry 8520. It is cheap, has a small screen and the free internet will help with the facebook.

Go with the iPhone, its expensive but you (or your wife) will never regret it

Here's a list of all current phones with a 3.5" screen or bigger:

They'll all be able to access Facebook - even if there is no application compatibility/availability, you can still use the browser to access the mobile Facebook site

I got an iPhone 2G for R1700 - I was lucky but look around for one

Go for that LG... sounds like the right phone for what she wants.

Interesting to see the iPhone zombies completely ignore the request and pimp the iPhone as the solution to all our communications woes. Not sure what price you're looking at but you can get the BB 8520 for R2700 from Game.

Don't know the LG phones at all, but I'm sure they will do very well for her needs.

Will check price for the iPhone. Thanks all.
