This one has big buttons and their own OS. [1] No idea how good it is. Not many reviews. T9 texting would be painful. All the good phones that slide open and have a full qwerty keyboard are gone AFAIK. My favorite was the SideKick II. Good phones will never make a come-back as the distraction is what they want people to have. That and the ability to run tracking software.

If she does not leave the house much a landline phone with big buttons might be easier if voice calls are an option along with a big pad of paper with names and numbers.
