I have a requirement for a user, they require a phone to do all the usual smart phone type stuff like phone/text/email/web but their eye sight is shocking, they currently have a recentish nokia and even with the display settings on big as fuck she still struggles.

Does anyone have any hands on experience with a phone that can display everything big enough to help someone who has problems with their vision?

Thanks

Bigger screen than the iPhone's might be preferable, though.
