Do you have kids that are text messaging addicts? Everywhere I go I see people text messaging like crazy – and kids seem to be the leading users of text messaging. The problem with buying phones for kids is they lose them or leave them in the rain. That’s why I’m a big fan of prepaid phones – however the selection of phones with QWERTY keyboards for prepaid plans can be skimpy. Here’s a great opportunity to pick up a full QWERTY smartphone with Quad Band capabilities (850/900/1800/1900). The Windows Mobile powered device is unlocked so it takes any GSM SIM you throw at it. On the downside, the camera is way mediocre (only 1.3 megapixels) and this is an EDGE only device – so forget about taking advantage of any 3G speeds. As a spare QWERTY device this one’s a deal and you can run it on prepaid plans simply by swapping in a SIM card. This is a one day sale – so don’t delay or the deal will be gone tomorrow.
