    I'm seeing an awful lot of 18-year old carrying the Blackberry Pearl or the Blackberry Curve. I don't know what you're budget is, but I've seen them and they are really nice.It made me want one, just to play with. Of course I didn't buy one because even though I could have gotten the Pearl for $0, I had to purchase an extra monthly plan because you can access the net on the Blackberry too.

    My son (18) has broken so many phones I hate to think about it. He always has it in his front or back pocket and he's cracked them bad enough during seizures that they were totally useless. I was looking for something for him too. I finally ended up purchasing the Verizon G'zOne Boulder phone (it's sort of a military model) because it's supposedly break proof and water resistant. It's not the best looking one, but it serves it's purpose well. Our water line broke 2 days ago and he dug it up to fix it and forgot about the phone. It fell in the water/mud but it was okay; just dirty.

    If you don't get a big response with AB, you can try www.cnet.com. They usually have personal reviews and with some of them there is even a video to show you the different options each phone has. If you already have a cellphone carrier, you might want to go to the cellphone carriers site and see what they have available before you look as they do very from carrier to carrier. Sorry to ramble. Hope it was, at least, helpful!

    Buy a durable one.There is many phones out there and they all have their good points and bad ones. If you are buying a phone from a company that will provide the service, read every little thing in the contract cause thats where they will nail you.

    Not sure which features are vailble from your network, but the Nokia N95 8gig or the newer version Nokia N96, are excellet phones. The camera has auto focus and 5meapixel with a proper carl zeis lens, its takes realy great photos. It also has 3g HSDPA connection which is really quick and allows for video calling. you can Load Mp3's and even Movies and watch them on the phone.
    The phone also has GPS with porper route guidance.
    these are just a few of the many many options. This is the phone I have, Im a gimic freak :P and I love this phone.


    Not sure if she would be using all these features? If not a simpler phone might siut her better, but if its something packed with features tahts reliable,with good signal i say this is the phone to get!

    let me know what you decide on :)
