Sony Xperia ion or SGS2 Skyrocket - General Topics

I have a choice to either get a Xperia ion or a sgs2 skyrocket, which would be the better choice in your opinion? I'm fairly new to the android world coming from BlackBerry.. so many devices but o have narrowed it down to these two. Thanks for any advice!

If you want easy rooting, customization, go with Samsung... Sony has locked boot loader... only frustration...

I have a skyrocket now, and after owning a few android phones, and blackberries, I can say without a doubt that this is the best phone I've ever used. I've never used a Sony before, but you can't go wrong with an SR. Plus the dev community is AMAZING.

Cellphone for elderly, shaky hands?

I need to get an inexpensive cellphone for my Mom. She's elderly and has Parkinsons Disease, so her hands shake a lot.
Are there any good cellphones with large buttons that are extremely simple to use?

I'm guessing something strong too
I remember Verizon used to sell an indestructible phone that was waterproof and hard to break

Just to update the thread, I bought a Dell Streak 5 with the 5" screen.
But somehow broke it.
Now I bought a Samsung Infuse with the 4.5" screen. Time to ROM & Roll!

Yes I also agree the Big Launcher will be fine. If you are looking for simplicity and easy to use. Have a look at John's Phone (https://www.johnsphones.com/ww/en/)
The price seems to be not too bad and it has many designs to choose from.

Hell Im willing to sell a whole phone and car dock for slightly more. I think if it was ran over by two cars it might be beyond repair tho. Ive seen what a car does to a Droid X being run over once and this phone is not quite a sturdy.

[Q] Kind of paint to use on Nexus 5?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any knowleadgeable painting artists in the vicinity?
I saw a white Nexus 5's X painted with the Nexus colors and I really liked it. My N5 is black, but I guess it would be as awesome. Anyhoo, what kind of paint should I use on that kind of rubber? It has to be resistant to friction as I don't have [yet] a cover case.
Thanks a lot!
I think "debrand" or "xgear" is the thing u r searching for.
That's a kind of skin for ur phone.
Just check the Nexus Accessoires section or Google it, to get more information.

I think I've badly explained what I wanted to achive. I'd like to paint only the 4 carved lines forming the X on the back of the N5. You know, like this:

Thanks for your answer, I'll look into these skins if I can't find what I want.
