I'm looking for a plain, simple (very simple), easy-to-use pay-as-you-go mobile as a present for a non-techy friend.

No camera, no games, no gimmicks at all. Just big buttons, an easily-read screen and a straightforward address book.

Any recommendations?

Many thanks.

Buttons are seperate rather than joined up 'rocker' as one the 1600, and its cheaper

Many thanks for the speedy replies. That Nokia 112 looks pretty much ideal for what I need.
