How young us too young to have a phone? My son will be 9 soon, but half if his 3rd grade class have phones. I'm looking for opinions. Thanks.

I'd say about 11-12. What are they even gonna use a phone for when they're 9?
I may be not a parent , but if I were, the limit would be 14-15 years old...
If younger they can really easily get addicted...
I'm not a parent, but my mom didn't get me one until I was 15 since I started working. A few years ago before my mom decided to get me a phone, I always shared the phone with her instead whenever I was out with friends. I'm 19 now.
9 is way too young. Unless it's a necessity I'd say 12-13. Although I'm not a parent, I got mine at 14 and my stepsister got hers at 11, she's glued to it night and day. If you want a relationship with your child I'd advise against such a young age.

My first was a blackberry pearl at age 12 my sister got the same one at age 10 : she is really addicted to the internet.
So yea 9 is way too you id say 13 -15

16 is when I got mine cause that's when they need to have one were as they can drive! !
I got mine at 14 I believe. I would advise somewhere around 14-16.
I'm not a parent, btw.

I'm thinking that 9 us a little too young also. Maybe it's our neighborhood our something, but all these little elementary school kids are rolling with iphones, ipod touch, droids. It's crazy. I was just gonna reactivate my wifes old env2 for him.

I have mixed opinions. I think you should buy him or her the prepaid ten dollar phones like trackphone or something a's let the child grow some responsibility off that.be very sure you explain that its only for emergencys then if hes good when hes 13 or 14 get him a decent phone. Idk maybe im old fashion (oh crud im 21)

Your knowledge is a good thing but most children at 13 don't have the want to know about things like that, let alone 11.

Exactly! Which is why we don't give them cellphones at the age of 11, because they aren't as bright as you are.

If I had a phone at 13 especially this day and age where it consumes your life (im on a vibrant so im always messin with it even in college) I dont think I would have graduated and I would have discovered porn alot faster plus dont teachers take away phones anymore these days? I remember getting my sidekick ii at the time confiscated every week or so
I use swype so expect bad grammar and errors
My kids will get one when they have a job and can pay for it themselves. I am only required to provide food, clothing, shelter, and love. I'll gladly add a line to my contract, but they will pay for it. Unless there is a snazzy new device and my upgrade is a few months off. Then I'll buy the phone and they get my old one.

I am about 8400 in debt from student loans and credit card debts.
Between house, mine and wifes student loans, and other little crap, about $175,000. Good thing is I own one of my vehicles, 1 payment left on the other and NO CREDIT CARDS.
House prices in my area are ~£300,000 ($495,000) for a three bedroom, so anybody buying one will instantly be £300,000 (minus deposit) in debt to the mortgage company.
I bet 8400 isn't sounding so bad now is it?
only around 1500EUR from a loan i made for a TV...
No debt. Currently a junior at the University of Arizona. Gotta love those scholarships
i am about £1000+ in debt, i havnt paid anything back for aprox 5years now, i am probably black-listed LOL
* spent most of the money on canabis and munchies

I should be 10k in debt because i need to get my masters . college was free because i am poor ;SD
- excuse my grammar im using swype-
About $30k. I kinda had knee surgery without insurance lol.

I'm at about $1000
Toyota RAV4 = $19k-20k
Old school loan + credit cards = under $3,000
That's it
Everything is manageable and looking forward to getting our two kids (age 1 & 3), into private school.

If it lasts 10 years, it will have done well. By that time, our way of interaction will have changed radically. Think back 10 years: no Facebook, no Twitter, no wikipedia (it only got started in 2001). In 10 years, we will be using systems and software that is only being dreamt about now.
42 years.

She asked me if I had a business to be using it soooo much and she took it so she gave me one of those phones you get free when you sign up with ATT and I only have calling now....
Well that's a bout it!

Taking a break. I can only take so much XDA I do it every so often. You should know by now. But, i'm still around, just not usually in the OT forum. I like the accessories forums & general of my current home, the Atrix
LYT alan
I'm on OT so frkn much that I never go to the dev forums anymore.
BTW, how good is the Atrix vs the SGS2 and the Sensation? I'm torn between these three bad brothers
Id go sensation - The atrix is only just getting gingerbread whilst the sensation shipped with it and the galaxy s II has too much plastic

FOREVER ALONE

3 years. We broke up 6 or 7 years ago when i was 18-19, and i've only been in one "serious" (well, that i count as a relationship) relationship after that (last summer), and that one lasted for 4 month, so now i'm happy and single. I'm not complaining at all. I do what i want when i want, and i don't have to take orders from anybody It's the dream!
And a lot of friends are also beginning to produce these things... babies! yes, babies. That's alright i guess, but that's the end of our friendship. You know, since they won't have time to get together and stuff like that. But no worries! I'm just awesoming all over the place with my pals! I'm still young (25) so i can meet a girl and make a baby when the time is right and i'm sick of partying and stuff like that.
Current priorities: Having fun and making money.
Longest relationship: 3 months, both my first and last relationships. Both ended because I moved too.
Shortest: 2 days. I don't know why I even count that one lol...
Time since my last relationship: 4 years. Insert foreveralone.jpg here.

With my bday today (now...central US timezone) what should I buy as a present to myself?
Looking for something "gadgety" and fun/interesting
I'm set on devices for the most part, the Nexus Q, Chromebook (CR-48 model), and Sony Chromebox all interests me, but then they all do the same thing my current laptop or computer hooked up to my TV can do.
Thought about a smart watch such as a pebble and I just feel I'm too hard on my watches. (Normally stick with G-Shocks)
Thought about an iPhone 4S to play around with and wouldn't you know it, the g/f is getting one and then I'm gonna take her Nexus and try to trade it + some cash for an SIII.....
So....XDA OT'ers, what cool gadgets does my hard earned money need to be spent on?
DIY sex robot. It'll be the best prom EVER!
How old are you? That makes a difference. Any other hobbies? Where do you live?
Gym membership.
Lot's of gadgets to play with in the Cardio section as all the machines are like computers these days. Plus you get healthy as you play around with various settings!
