[QUOTE="cranky, post: 1117486, member: 9160"] The 5030 is a pain for my folks to use. The buttons are too small and not enough space between them, and require a microscope to see at night with the thin font and reverse keys. I didn't buy it for them but as a backup phone for when mine was on the blink. I thought they could use it, but they can't. Voice quality is terrible, as is the sound from the built-in phone speaker that is used for FM playback. It's worthless. For elderly folk, look for buttons that are not flush with the phone face, and preferably black on white print. I know the 1100 is old, but it's a really easy to use phone because it's so basic - very easy for old folk. No radio though, and not sure about the speakerphone. There may be an updated model with a colour screen - but stick to black and white, it's easier to read. [/QUOTE]
