What about some Droid like Galaxy Nexus?

I suggested Nexus when my immediate boss asked for a phone at approx 25k~, I didn't knew that the older boss is buying, I withdrew the suggestion immediately, Nexus would be useless as he won't be doing any custom ROM or tweaking it lol, he still hasn't JB'en his Ipad :p. My immediate boss made my job easier by wiping off Lumia/Windows phones from the 'shortlist' :D. Can't someone suggest a phone that has big buttons and is feature rich as well (And excludes touch?)?

Learning android at the age of 76 could be troublesome, he may end up throwing the phone due to battery issues etc.,

He seems keen to buy an Iphone 4

My Boss is the Senior President of an Indian Nav Ratna Company (Not really nav ratna but close enough) man, do you expect him to carry that s*it?

He booked a Iphone 4S 16GB today, my immediate boss told me. I can bet that it'll come to my hands in a few days when my immediate boss will say
"Please do this function for him", my immediate boss also uses an Iphone 4 :p, or maybe I won't get it as my immediate boss may solve the issue :p. Either ways am not an Apple fan.
