My 7 YO wants an iphone from Santa and we have told him that Santa will not bring someone so young an iphone. That said we are happy to buy him a phone. I have found the LG Cookie Lite on Carphone Warehouse for £25ish pounds, it has a touchscreen, camera and games which will keep him happy - just before we go ahead I wondered if anyone had any experience of this phone and any suggestions on how to get it cheaper? Cheers

    This is more appropriate for a seven year old.

    For 7 year old, the cookie will do till they hit 8 and want a laptop/psp/xbox/sandwiches and drinks.

    If you are buying him one, doesnt that mean that you also have more money than sense.

    And a sheep.

    The world has gone mad.......................

    The best one I can recommend is called a...................... Fisher Price.

    With that one he can Play, Learn, Grow.



    Seriously, you cannot be serious OP. A mobile phone for a 7 year old, this country is going mad. This must be a wind up.
    Why are we here?......................because we are not all there.

    LTSB credit card 22% now... £1677
    work 0%............................£300
    Sister 0%...........................£1400
    Inland revenue....................£208
