Recommend a phone for my mum

[Khare]

From here

She is after a Free TV (judging by prices, 32" TV) and a touchscreen phone (HTC Desire style, reasonably large screen for decent internet). Phonewise I'm thinking HTC wildfire as it's a bit smaller than the Desire, cheaper and still looks great.

We're after the Sony BRAVIA 32" KDLEX401 LCD TV (1080p, which I'll be keeping and passing my current Toshiba 720p to the living room).

If you think another 32" TV is better, do say please (I have the 32" Regza one listed)

Phone contract wise, she wants internet (500mb is enough) and some minutes and messages. 300 of each should be fine.

Providerwise, Vodafone is really good in our area, I've got it and always have signal, so that's the preferred carrier.

Oh and before you say anything about the site, I used it a few years ago to get a free 250gb PS3 and it's legit. We had no problems with it.

Sony bravia tv's don't have that good of a picture quality and the colours are dull, I bought my dad a 46" Sony bravia full hd lcd tv and paid £3600 for it and the picture was sh!t, better off with lg, Toshiba, sharp, Philips or Techenika.

Toshiba imo has the best picture quality. (I have 2 Toshiba's 26" and 42" both are crisp with good colour) or Proline are good as they are made by Philips, their a Philips tv with a different name on.

I have always found Nokia easiest to use, I've had a 3310, 3410, n95, n96, n8 and now the lumia, all easy to use, I had a couple of Blackberry's, a couple of Samsung's tocco and I can't remember what the other one was and hated how unnecessarily complicated they were. I really rate the lumia highly as it loads full internet pages quicker than an Iphone or my laptop, the only problem is the voice recognition isn't very good if there is background noise.

I dont know which sony tv your dad bought or how long ago he bought it.... but sony do some of the best tvs available at the moment. If your dad paid £3600 for a sony tv and the picture was no good, then its more likely to be the source rather than the tv itself.

I would go for Desire S over Wildfire anyday.

I have desire and my old girl has a wildfire and the difference is shocking   ps1 vs ps3..

Heard Samsung are the best TV's to go for as they are the leading LED/LCD screen producers.

I've got the LG tv, mine is LED back lit but looks just like the ones shown
I picked mine over the Sony,Samsung, etc as it had a much better picture when side by side in the shop.
Was also a lot cheaper but that's not your problem

I'd go for a phone with buttons as touch screens are weak and unreliable, you also look like a fool stroking them in the pub
HTC's seem to last longer than the ipoo or samsung offerings, I dont have any broken one's in my draw for a start

I was impressed with my father inlaw's Xperia X8 andriod made simple and smooth, he is over 65 and managed to work it out with a bit of teaching from me. Its better than my Magic by miles!
