Yes, it's another "please recommend a phone" thread! But not for me, for Li'l Zel.
Now, Li'l Zel is 7 (almost 8) years old, so it might seem a little early for that, but we feel that he gets more out playing and/or visiting friends, so it'd be nice if a) he can call us and tell us where he is, and b) we can check up on him if needed, for instance if my commute is delayed so I won't make it home before he arrives home from school.
So I and Mr Zel agreed that we might buy him a cellphone for his birthday in a couple of months, but which one to choose...
Our criteria are as follows:
I was thinking of a Samsung Discovery, whereas Mr Zel thought of a Samsung Galaxy Trend (which I think is a wee bit over the edge), but I would really like more suggestions before making a final decision.

Our criteria are as follows:
- Must be at a reasonable price
- Preferrably a smartphone, but not TOO smart - room for a couple of apps would be OK but no need for multiple GBs
- Droid operated as our other phones + a tablet are Droids, that makes it easier to synchronize and share data
- Sturdy (remember, the device is to be handled by a young boy)
