I want to buy my mom the best phone available. All of her friends have high end phones and my moms phone is a very old cell phone. Has a screen only for numbers and text messages to show. I found a pic online...pretty much as old as this:

I was eating with her friends and they were showing pictures to my mom...etc.. One of them asked my mom if she can text her a picture and my mom said she cant see any pictures.. I felt like sh-it.

So what is the best phone for my mom?

If your mom is having trouble seeing, the 1520's massive display would probably be better.

1520 is huge, does your mom have small hands? Also if she has many friends with iPhones or family with the same, maybe they use a lot of iMessage and Facetime. So in that case the iDevice may be better.

If your mum has small hands and wants a large device I would recommend the 925 for her or a Samsung Ativ S Neo
