This is the exact phone that I have been looking at for my 15, almost 16-year old. I can't afford one with a contract, and I figured that a prepaid will help her learn to manage her money, at least during the warmer months when she has more of a chance to make a few bucks. This looks like a nice phone for her, and it DOES have the capability to upload photos to the computer, unlike some of the other ones. I was extremely happy to find it half-off with free shipping as well. She is gonna be very surprised and happy.
