A few hints come to my mind:
- MyMoves by Topi Santakivi lets you launch predefined applications by using gestures
- N9QTweak option to change the icons grid (from default 4 columns to let's say 3 larger ones)
- N9QTweak option to boost the sound volume from default 66% to 100%
- Easy Answer - "When you receive a call, just raise the phone to your ear and it will be answered automatically. When you're done, simply shake the phone to end the call."

Thanks for the replies.
What about the Internet connection? The way Harmattan handles them is quirky even to me, so it will probably be even more quirky to the elderly person. They don't need to be online 24/7, I'd say they'll enable the connection rather on-demand.
It's more complicated than the primitive Android-style on/off toggle, still not so clear and simple as the Fremantle settings.
Unless one disconnects manually, the connection is being used automatically whenever needed. Still, once one disconnects, the connection is never used automatically. Is it possible to make all the connections be either used manually or automatically?

You will need to script something changing the gconf value for the/all connections and put it as icon on home screen.
But I use my WiFi as automatically (at home always online) and my GPRS connection as manual.
Whenever I am abroad and some app (mail/browser requests online demand, triggered by me) a popup appears to choose the possible internet connection.

Is it possible to trigger a script whenever the device has connected to a network? On desktop we have the NetworkManager dispatcher

From my experience, this setup is not very hard on the battery -- I still get roughly 2.5-3 days on one charge on my > 4 years old N9 (daily driver). But then again, I don't get/make too many calls.
