Just as a matter of interest, how big is N10 text? Have you looked at
the more recent Ericsson/ Sony Ericsson phones (from T39/R520 onwards)
that let you choose a large font? With the ability to change "themes"
you can change the background/foreground colours as well, so you can
try to optimise the contrast, though I'm not sure how you can define
your own rather than the few presets that come with it.
