My son is almost 8, and I want to be able to drop him off earlier at school, before they open the doors. So I need to get him a phone. I currently am with T-Mobile, and was looking at the FireFly, but apparently that can only be used for Cingular. I don't really want to switch carriers. SO, what phone would you recommend for a child?

I am in love with the Disney phone plan.
It includes:
Call Control
This web-only feature lets you, as the Family Manager, establish a schedule for the time of day and day of week your kid's Disney Mobile phone can be used. Set up a list of Always On numbers so your child can reach you or other family and friends even when phone is restricted. You can also create a list of Prohibited numbers
Family Alert
Family first! Send a priority message to one or all family members simultaneously. These priority messages appear on the phone’s main screen when received, so important messages aren’t missed.
Family Locator
Locate your kid’s phone using GPS technology. Get a location of your kid's phone and a map of the location without calling. All adults on the account can use Family Locator from their Disney Mobile handset or the Disney Mobile website. All Individual & Family Plans come with 5 Family Locator requests per month.
Family Monitor
Stay in control of your family’s wireless spending. Check usage, and as the Family Manager, set voice minutes, text and picture messaging allowances, and receive an alert when an allowance is reached. Also, Family Managers can set spending limits on downloadable entertainment content that both you and your kids can enjoy.
Unlimited Mobile to Mobile Family Calling
Because family comes first with Disney Mobile, you never have to use your service plan minutes to make or receive in-family calls. Enjoy unlimited calls to and from family members in your Disney Mobile Family Plan while on the Disney Mobile network.
It sucks they only have 2 phones up now but there's a red one with Disney on it and a regular looking one.

TRACFONE, hands down! I've been using one since I was 14, and I still have the exact same phone now that I'm 18. No funny charges, you buy him minutes in any increment from 40 to like 400, I think. NO suprises!

Phone nowadays are so sophisticated and not only that it's hard to keep track of your minutes, especially for a child. My recommendation for your son would be the Motorola v188, Motorola v195, or the Samsung t209.

Theres also the firefly for cingular... you can set like 20 #'s that they can call.. and it has a CALL MOM button and a CALL DAD button
