My 8 year old daughter has one (3G) and she does just fine with it. She got it this past Christmas from her grandparents.

My wife & I didn't own a cell phone until we were in our 40s so I put down 1 year old. Give them something I never had as a kid. The only high tech toys we had were transistor radios and sliderules.

wouldnt you worry that giving a kid an iphone with all these features would be a bad idea?

i dont think id want kid to a. not pay attention during school on fb or whatever. and b. use internet to google answers for tests and such. i know most kids prolly have this now. its crazy!!

so it would have to be very limited...

I voted 16 and only if the child was a responsible 16 year old. I remember how many sets of house keys etc. I lost between the ages of 12-16, so a £350-£550 phone, forget about it!
