I second the blackberry.. get her the blackberry tour.. simple nice and it just works.. pre im gonna say no go cause if your mother is like my wife or most women. they just throw it in their purse or bag and get jacked up by keys and such... and the pre is not exactly a tank...mine broke and the headphone port got stuck.. but for emails and im and such u cant go wrong with a blackberry curve or tour...plus u know sprint has everyone beat on the plans.. and bb service is included...
