Hi all,

my fiancee is looking to replace her robust but aged (and surprisingly droppable down a toilet proof) nokia 5000d-2 with something more modern.

her requirements are it must have buttons (not keen on touch screens as they cannot be used to text without looking), be able to check her hotmail, other webmail and Facebook (of course) and preferably be pink (it pained me to type that last bit).

any suggestions? i've let her use my old iPhone but she doesn't like the lack of buttons.

she's been looking at the nokia c301 but i've checked some online reviews who slated it for being fragile and breakable.

thanks folks

i like that htc.

she says she doesn't want a slider and prefers the traditional 9 number keys layout for texting, not these new fangled qwerty keyboards!

keep em coming folks

Hmm. How about a non smartphone, but a phone with buttons that can access Facebook, hotmail and other web mail and basic interweb.

Since getting an iPhone I know nothing about other phones anymore

Thanks

Why does she want to text without looking? While driving perhaps?
