Hi,

an old man I know has Parkinsons.

One of the challenges going with the disease is to be able to press buttons...it gets close to impossible due to the shaking.

He had an old Nokia of brick form factor. Unfortunately this trusted Nokia stopped working.

What is the cellphone with the largest buttons around?

He does not have money for anything fancy, and will anyway not be able to press the buttons of a fancy phone.
 
The 6234's buttons are pretty big. Cant think of another phone right now but I will keep it in mind
 
Hi thanks for the hints.

It must be a phone that is still readily available as new for pre-paid.

Voice dialing might work, but I doubt it. Older people tend to be scared of stuff working on voice commands.

Also, the red "end call" button must be large enough.

What about the Motorola F3? Should be quite simple to use as well.
