Help my son choose a flip phone...
Don't really know about flip phones - but my son is now old enough to have a mobile of his own. He likes the flip style ones...
We've been for a look in the local shops, the criteria are he wants to 1) phone
and 2) text also a selection of 3) ringtones & 4) games with 5) colour screen...
The ones he has seen and likes are samsung X460 or E330, motorola V220, LG 3300
Any advice on pros / cons?
Also don't want one looking too valuable as don't want him getting mugged for it!
Cheers
Mick

as Jamo says D500 is a nice phone that fits all criteria. Motorola V3 (razor) are very stylish. Got it in black an I think its one of the nicest phones currently on the market

Please watch him carefully, particularly if he downloads ringtones, as downloading often means signing on to a monthly or weekly service which they will take off his pay as you go or add to his monthly bill. Its fraught with pitfalls. My Daughter got badly caught out and she's 28.....

My daughter likes the siemens range - I have the SL55 as my spare clubbing phone - it's very small and rather than flip it slides up 
My Son thinks flip phones are geh - what ever that means LOL. I had the samsung flip when that first came out but didn't like it at all - no usable features but that was about 4 years ago now.
Kids can't go wrong with Nokia's - they do everything a kid wants and more and are affordable
