Thanks, HK.
The only reason I would consider a smart phone is that you can apparently get parental controls that let you monitor the content of all texts. DS was bullied last year, and will remain a target. I am not eager to let him have texting unless I can see what's being said. (I realize this sounds controlling, but he has autism, and errors of judgment could easily go both ways, in and out of that phone.)
So far I haven't found a feature phone that would let us do that. But I agree, so much less an issue than a smart phone. (OTOH, one can disable the Web on a smartphone too.)
