For my Mom, her eye sight is getting bad. She talks and texts something fierce but lately she been struggling to see her ancient T-Mobile's screen. No data package or fancy extra's needed.
What do you guys recommend?
This is the problem...T-Mobile does not really care about people like your mother
they do not offer that many choices for near/far sighted people.
Your best choice will be to cancel T-Mobile and get her a Gitterbug phone . They offer phones designed for people with limitations and in need of big numbers and big screens without the fancy data packages
maybe the Galaxy Note i717 with xtra large fonts?
T-Mobile mobile for your mom? Sounds like a fair swap
Nah, seriously, has anyone tried the accessibility setting on Android? I've not tried it myself and just wondered if it may be useful in this case.
Edit: I just tried it - forget about that! It's totally horrible and useless. I was expecting something akin to the magnifier on Windows, but it just vocalising what you're doing and not very well at that. Clicking an icon on my homepage told me "Workspace 2 of 3" (obviously my 2nd screen of 3 home pages). Pretty pointless.
Either what MTM said or a larger touch screen phone hacked to show all apps, screens, ect on the, largest font available. I'm, sorry I'm not, more help.

I came across this app earlier today and it seems like it has future potential. The only fault I see is that it doesnt have landscape support but its something to play with. Gives me something to mess with until Open Touch 4.0 comes out. lol Its nothing out of this world but figured I'd share. See some screen shots below.

Trying to transfer iPhone UI is imo a fail. Much better are interfaces like mobile shell which come with their own ideas.
Check out the istyle - do a forum search, much better imho, which rearrange the today screen rather than replace it.
imho ..? oh well..
I'd rather have Open Touch V4.0 than the iPhone to be honest. Tho the iPhone is a revolution in the digital worlds, it's nothing more then a simple theme because it uses MAC OS X 10 or something.
I'd rather have my HTC

I agree its mainly something to show off if anything. I played with it for a little bit but I still prefer HTC home that comes with open touch.

The red squiggles show where I think a clue could be placed to show there are more items in the list. It could be an arrow key or any standard method of indicating there are moe things out of view. The red and green arrows are just possible alternatives. The programs touch flo screen could do with the same as it is not OBVIUOS there are more items to be seen.
A nice silver triangle button that fades when there are no more items would be cool.
Some may ask why I suggest this interface usability tweak (in any format). Good question.

Hmmmm......after using TF3D or even READING THE MANUAL it is obvious that there are more items to display.....
Don´t need an arrow in e.g. the contacts application to remind me that there is more than just one page.......but then again, that´s just me.......
BTW: I´ve long turned off TF3D for a less funky but faster and more usable interface.....
But
RTFM and learning are not available to the people who are not 'lovers' of the technology.
They pick it up, look at it, and don't enquire..
Many business users are almost or over, half a century old.
They wouldn't see the value of XDA Developers, etc.

If anyone, for any reason, does not read the manual of the device, they don't deserve to use its full potential.
So I was just browsing through some of the sub-forums and I found a lot of questions asking, "HOW KENN I RUN iPHONE APZ ON MI PPC?"
I today have brought you a solution.
Using this method, your phone/device will not need any additional memory usage, or even any additional software/hardware for that matter. All games will run full speed too! And the best part is -- none of this will affect your battery life!
Here you go folks! A picture is worth a thousand words, so this video is worth a million (Or something like that! )

Tada!!
edit: This will work with all screen resolutions!
Does this work on the HTC HD2?

Upon further inspection it works on every phone on every operating system
It's a really hilarious* video showing someone running an app on an iphone which he has physically placed on top of a PPC.
* when I write, hilarious, I really didn't mean it.
Thread can be closed now, if not deleted, please.
It will run on my Tilt, as long as it is on my desk. But will not run on my Tilt if it is in the charging dock. Any ideas ?

that pic made my day man

to being with lmao
So apparently from Apple's point of view every current ( post 2007 ) touchscreen phone is copying the iPhone. In all fairness the touch wiz interface bares resemblance to the iOS one ( don't throw rocks at me, I'm just making a point ) but this is sort of pushing it. Though they are good at avoiding lawsuits... I mean who in their right mind would have conceived making a single button mouse back in '98
Damn you beat me to it,
I even have the link ready http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/innovation/04/19/apple.samsung.lawsuit.wired/
They are suing them because the galaxy pad have rounded corners and black borders
cant think of an xda app signature
I think this is going to end badly for apple. I don't know if they realize theyre going up against the single largest corporation(Samsung Group) in the world, they must have HEAVY influence in asia.
Typical company lawsuit. Move on.

lmao at the pic Also Apple have bought 5.7bil $'s worth of stuff from Samsung, Which Samsung has a right to use in their own products aswell... So you'd expect them to be similar if they're using the same parts
Not to mention the LG Prada which debuted and shipped long b4 the iPhone....
Am I the only one seeing the problem with the new policy (i mean I never read the old one) but in the new one its says they collect data (a lot of which is personal) like who u text and call, how who's important to u and what not. I may be late on this but that **** pisses me off, some privacy policy!!

You can still use your android phone without a being signed in to Google.
CIQ and now this? The switch to WP7 was always easy, now I'm near dancing on the tragic comedy that is an android user's privacy.

You don't like an os that tracks what you do from a company that sells you ads?
Um...bing direct ads via user data and the wp7 phones have been found tracking users without users permission.
Sorry but given that these things about microsoft are well known then to ignore them so you can claim some moral high ground for ms by implying they have no privacy issues is trolling.
As is suggesting ciq is an android problem when its a usa issue not related to the os because it is not part of android nor on most android phones. Certainly not in uk or europe.

It doesn't really matter. They can't do anything with your data or do they even know you personally. I'll be afraid if a lunatic had my info. Not Google.
