Simple phone for the elderly

Can anyone suggest a phone offered by Cingular that is simple to use. Easy power on and off, large display and basic navigation? My 81 y/o Mom insists on having one. I tried the basic Nokia go-phone a few years ago but she found it too hard to turn on.

Nokias are very un-simple. Samsungs seem to do well with the elderly customers.

Good luck. I got my mom a simple Nokia flip phone (forget the model). She can work the phone ok, but she NEVER remembers to charge it!! I'd say 99.9% of the time it's dead as a doornail.
