Need old person cell phone

My dad is kinda hard of hearing. And he has fat fingers. I'm trying to figure out which phone would suit him best. He's not good with technology either. I'm thinking a Nokia candybar type phone. He currently has a SE Z520a and he doesn't like it. It's not loud enough and the buttons are a little small. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, most phones have relatively small buttons, some may be slightly bigger than anothers, but the difference is insignificant. I know you said he is technologically impaired, but is he competent enough to handle a BT earpeice or voice dial system? That way he wouldn't have to dial at all, just speak the names.

Also, if you are looking for loud, I would say Nextel. They have the huge speakers on the phone that blast out that 2-way radio.
