Help finding smartphone - large keys & screen

[$how$topp3r*]

My mother needs to get a new phone and might as well get a smartphone so she can deal with calendar and email stuff from work. I am stuck on what to suggest. Her requirements are:

1) Verizon network
2) easy to use keyboard (she has some serious arthritus issues in her fingers)
3) sharp, easy to read screen
3) ability to sync w/ outlook calendar. (and email)

Apps are not mandatory. Heck, she used to be ahead of the tech curve. Now I have to support her with cutting and pasting links.

So ideally the phone will be very simple to use, once setup.

She is starting to drive me nuts with "What do I get?" Please help.

Thanks
