Top 5 Smartphones to Get Your Kids this Christmas

This Christmas might be the chance for you to introduce your kids to the latest trends in mobile technology. But with the myriad of smartphones continuously swarming the market, it's quite confusing which one is the best bang for bucks.  For kids though, it won't be as hard choosing. Kids aren't really after the processor, OS or any other nerdy stuff. What they mainly want is the fun factor of the phone - user interface, games, music, video playback and web browsing.

Below is a list of smartphones you might want to add in your gift list and give your children. The price, durability and entertainment features are the main considerations in these. All are below $200 and some are even cheaper if you purchase them with a contract.

LG Optimus T
The phone has a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a 320x480-pixel resolution. Text and images are crisp and clear despite its relatively reduced resolution. It weighs only 4.5 ounces which is light enough for your kid to grasp. It has a 3.2-megapixel camera and a microSD slot if the internal memory can't handle the number of games your kid has installed. It has a simple interface and sturdy built that is perfect for handling it to kids.
