What new phone to get?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

Looking for an easy to use, see phone for someone who is blind in one eye,
and deaf in one ear. It' need to have fairly large, easy to read buttons,
and an external CID would be nice. a speaker phone is also nice, and prefer
flip phones, as most non flips and to compact. I'll be replacing my Samsung
8500, which has most of these features, but the battery life is gone.

To whoever was asking about the 620:

The Radio Shack on Main Street in Hesperia, California has one. I believe
there's a warranty on it that you can't get on an eBay phone. Email me if
you're interested and I'll get the store's phone number for you.

The only reason I didn't buy that specific phone is because I simply didn't
have the money to buy a refurb. I ended up buying off eBay instead. IIRC
it's somewhere between $140 and $170 but it's worth it if you get a phone
with a warranty (in my opinion).

I like my 620.
