Mobile With Backlit Keypad?

[Tefler]

My mother is in her 80s. Her Simens A50 mobile has just given up the ghost. I'm looking for a cheap, easy-to-use phone which has a backlit keypad. Ideally, this would be a Nokia (as I have one so can talk her through problems as they occur) or Siemens (as she's used to their ways). I would be grateful for suggestions of what I should buy her.

Thanks, ChillDoubt, for your help, but I don't think any of these have a backlit keypad, do they? Mum is particularly enamoured with this facet of her current Siemens phone.

This has a back-lit key pad and is particularly designed for elderly people - it's very easy to use...I bought one recently for a relative and she loves it!

This looks ideal:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/panasonic-tu327-easy-mobile-black.html
Annoyingly, it's out of stock on that site. (I provided the link solely so that you could see the reference to the illuminated keypad). However it's in stock here:
www.cordless-phones.uk.com/mobile-phones/sim-free-mobiles/panasonic-kxtu-327-mobile/
There is confirmation there that it's got an illuminated screen but it's not quite so obvious. (It's under 'Display').

Tefler,
I'd hazard a guess that every phone in the link I gave has a backlit keypad, as pretty much every mobile phone with a standard keypad has since they were first manufactured.

You've all been wonderfully helpful. Thank you! ChillDoubt, I thought all such phones would have a backlit keypad, too, but then I bought one - a Simple Phone - for Mum last year and it didn't. She couldn't use it!

''Mum is particularly enamoured with this facet of her current Siemens phone''

Why not get another Siemens A50? Plenty on ebay - some with warranty - for around a tenner.

Good idea, ChillDoubt. I'll investigate.

Oops - I meant Snags.
