parents who may already have an existing family plan and who dont want to cough up a pretty penny for a smart phone can get this for their kid. i think it would work great for them because they're not stuck with a LG Rumor type phone that is extremely laughable but its not out of their "smart" phone league.

i could totally see my 12 year old nephew with this or females of almost any age (nothing sexist, it just seems simple and most women prefer simple).
