The iPhone 4S will probably be my mom's first cell phone. She doesn't like tech and likes her big button home phone (as in 3/4" button big button). My father and her just moved and my Dad doesn't really want a home phone anymore. He has been looking at getting her a JitterBug. She uses and Apple TV fine (netflix, mlb, and iTunes), so it isn't like she cannot use technology. She just has a phobia of current cellphones. I think it is more from her not wanting to wear her glasses and not being able to read the phone (she sees the TV fine).

Given Siri, Mom will be getting the iPhone 4S.

Serious request: please report back on the experience after about three months.
I'm already way behind on one HN request (the postfix dovecot OpenBSD e-mail server), but I will try to write something on this. Guess I should get a blog.
