OK, I know this is going to sound very like Victor Meldrew, but why the heck can't mobile phone manufacturers make them with BIG buttons?

Ever since I was forced to get rid of my ancient Nokia (about 2000 vintage) which died and couldn't be fixed, I've had a succession of phones with simply useless buttons.

All I want to do is make telephone calls. I don't want a camera, dont use or need the text stuff and can live without everything except basic functionality and Bluetooth connectivity for the car.

I presently have a Nokia 6230i, which is simply unusable as I keep activating unwanted functions all the time when all I want to is dial a number. Prior to that I had (still have) a Nokia 5100, which at least had semi-usable buttons but was a complete pain to turn on and off (needing superhuman strength on the top switch).

I mostly use the phone hands free in the car, but find that I simply can't find the right button on all this sub-miniature junk currently on the market.

I'm sure I can't be alone with this problem. Does anyone know a make/model phone that has sensible sized buttons please?
