So my Blackberry Q10 has developed an annoying habit of typing out Pa each time I press return..... so after the trained moneky at Phones 4 U erased ALL my pics and other data ( which weren't backed up ) as he thought doing a 'security restore' would just affect my apps and emails, he has now informed me it needs to go in for repairs.
To this end I now need to get myself a replacement smart phone which will do the job for two weeks, but is nice and cheap. I will be passing it onto my parents afterwards to drag them into the 21st Century kicking and screaming. They have never ever used a smartphone and barely use their 'normal' one.
Anyone got any experience of the above phone ? At £70 it looks a good deal to see me through and also seems fairly intuitive to enable me to teach my dear 74 year old mum how to use it.
 
We got one of these for my 70+ Mother in Law as my wife and I both have Windows phones.
She loves it and I'm no longer her regular tech support as I was with her previous Android phone.
 
Went and bought one earlier and Blackberry is off to Canada to get repaired. £70 and so far rather pleased with it !
 
If it's only for 2 weeks why not get the cheapest pay as you go from Tesco that will be nice and simple for your mum to use once passed on. I bought a big button mobile on Virgin for 30.quid or so and does the job for my 84 year old dear, has an SOS function on it as well. 70 quid seems alot especially if it's smartphone that won't get used as it's too complicated.

She already has the nice and simple. Thought it was time for her to smart phone up. She did well on her netbook and her kobo ebook reader so think this will be fine.

lol know what you mean, except with my mum a big button non smart phone baffles her, shes always texting me and denying its her, yet I bought her a secondhand refurbished Apple iBook and shes a wizard on it :roll:
