dont make fun of the vintages iHot>:0 i still have a slide-out keyboard phone
go with the iPhone4S. Apples are easier to use than Android crap and i just havent warmed up to Windows tile interfacing... to me its ugly.

"Apple is better than Android and Windows because I'm the most familiar with it."  

Did I say that? no. Ive used an Android and its crap. Windows' new boxy homescreen is just ugly, but it seems just as easy to use as Apple  

Buy her an iPhone, It doesn't have to be the latest the older ones are cheaper now!!

iPhone, iPad, iPwn, iSmack

Apple is easier? What? That's if you're used to it. Android actually comes with a beginner mode. Have you ever had an android?

Apple is all around simple you don't have to enable a beginner mode feature.

If you can't comfortably use an Android operating system it's not a case of Android being too complicated, it's a case of you being simple.

Laughed at "beginner mode".

"Simple" phones like iPhone and Windows Phone get old real fast. They're just boring all around. Simple is better for older people hence the original purpose of this thread.

It's not like Android is hard to use, it has more freedom and options, but it wouldn't be my first recommendation for an elderly woman.

It's still pretty easy to get around on.

By the way, does your Grandma need a touch phone? Get her a simple flip. It sounds as if you're trying to get her a un sophisticated smart phone, which are few in numbers. Get her something where she can call and text. I doubt she'll use any other features.  

It needs to have facebook doe.

Whatever happened to Facebook coming out with their own phone.

That's actually the problem; since she 'tried' my sis's iPhone 4/Saw my GS3 & iPad she was like "wow, I need that too"(long ago...).
She wants new stuff, something 'touch'.
The only thing that makes my dad want to buy her an iDevice over an android is because of facetime being easy to use, so she could call us for free(just trough internet) etc...
My dad wants to buy her an 4/4S. I would rather buy an used iPad 2(for the facetime, other features) and as she needs a new phone, an android, because they're cheap, amazing. Google phones look amazing...
I'll tell ya guys when we found what to buy.
And yeah she likes innovative stuff (untill now she always had a 'normal' nokia or whatever...)
But yeah, as stated above, she learned how to use a pc, so I think she can learn how to use a touch phone and its features.  

Don't really have any suggestions, just wanted to say its cool what your doing for your grandma. Keep it up bruh.  

My grandma still doesn't know how to use voicemail. She didn't know it existed in cell phones  

Hey everyone!
I'd like to thank you for your recommandations, and to tell you that after many tries we ended up buying her the
HTC Windows Phones 8S (HTC WP8S) which is incredible for his price/quality.
Thank you all!

Windows 8 on the phones/tablets is actually really easy to use=p.  

Good choice, but in my opinion, a Lumia 620 would be of been a better handset for a mid range windows phone experience due to the amazing exclusive apps Nokia is providing to its customers. Plus of the better hardware that Nokia brings to the table over a company like HTC, whose hardware isnt all that much reliable. I got a HTC 8x after i sold my Galaxy S3. Dont regret it one bit, but id rather have a Lumia 920. Too bad it isnt for Verizon.  

My aunt is pretty oblivious to any kind of technology. I got her the Nokia Lumia 810 and she learned how to use it within a week. If I didn't have an iPhone I'd probably use it.
