sadly, no. my T68/T68i collection is too precious to me... but hopefully it gives some idea that you don't have to go modern when a modern classic will suffice!

Kids these day's aren't like they used 2.
A yendo is a good phone, its good for them to start early.
back in 1991 when i was 6 i had a sony walkman with tapes. I learned to tape tracks from the radio and i knew how to program the VCR. I believe i was around 10years old when we had our first pc running 3.11 sure the games were basic but as young kid i spend alot of time in powerpoint, even making items that weren't in the standard choice (by cutting, ungrouping, grouping, ...)
Its a good thing for them to start young really. My first phone was an Ericsson, since then i've always been a fan of good quality products, and i even found my way to Esato.
So go for it, let the kid be an "early adapter"

Kids these days are very different. I have seen school kids with iphones. I too loved the t68 and t68i remembering waiting outside the Orange store before it opened the day it came out for my upgrade. It was exciting cos of the colour screen. But yeah i think that could be good start for a kid. Funny how things do change as now i am 39 my first phone was back in 1997 the Analogue Nokia Ringo from Tandy store

But then i moved to Ericsson.

So your a bit of a collector then just out of curiosity what others do you have?
Your right though a classic like that will do just fine so that one is definitely down on my shortlist.

Ideally something fairly cheap ish anyway cos kids will only bash them about.

Yes exactly why I want something especially designed for young kids.

I found a Hong-Kong based web-shop selling secondhand phones.
They have an used T68i for sale. for some 30GBP.

I am right now waiting for the delivery of my order of a Ericsson T20 and a R320.
It seems like I getting the shipping for free but will, most probably have to pay Swedish VAT and customs fee.
Still a childs phone should probably be much more than a telephone, perhaps all the extras, like camera and games is far more important than an odd phone call now and then...
The ZTE F102i seems to have the most with a low price.
