Just a poll for the 8300 owners ...

I'm 50 and have 20/15,20/20 near uncorrected.
BUT the small type does take a LOT more time to 'acquire', or transition to when looking in the distance. Like driving, and glancing at your phone--and back to the road. If the type size was a responsible size, or had options to change it, that would be a MAJOR public safety improvement, IMHO.
I have the v325,(am considering the 8300) but went back to my SCH-A650 as the type size is SO much better and the recieve audio (in a headset, while there is ambient noise) automatically increases above what can be set manually, according to road noise.
I do like the small type size when I'm texting in a semi public enviroment, sitting still. It's more private. I frequently dialed the wr...

umm, voice dialing? That might be a safer bet when your driving, at leaste try to use it if you are driving behind me 😉

i agree, voice dialing is a good thing to use.. BUT there really is no excuse to leave out 3 font sizes on the UI. They DID think of type size for dialing a number! They just didn't (couldn't) think any further!!!
Honestly, I can't believe that VZW isn't smart enough to realize that 80% of the population would benefit from larger fonts,
They could tout their 'public safety' efforts (read free advertising)
and they also would be able to market to folks 70+ and sell them phones and plans to be able to text their grandkids!
And these folks have MONEY.

LOL not much of a market for the 70+ crowd. why market a phone with a 2 year contract when you're not even sure they'll literally "live up" to the contract terms! Its harsh, but true.

You ain't up current affairs my man, 60 is the new 40!!! 70 is not that old guy
