And it actually kinda makes sense! The Cingular Firefly has no dialing capabilities except via 5 buttons programmed by the parents...who also have a PIN in order to do so! One of those buttons is a 20 entry phonebook, again programmable by the parents. Calls can only be received from one of the programmed numbers.
The magazine ad I saw shows a little boy of about 7. This hit home with me because my 2 oldest grandsons are 6 and 8. I love the safety features of this phone but, jeez, the misplaced and loss factors have gotta be huge! Altho', to my grandson's credit, he still has the iPod shuffle he received for his birthday last August!
Do any of you know of any children who use this phone? I'm wondering what other 'negatives', besides loss, there might be.
