@aldroid nice. I got the lad a Unihertz Jelly Star for size (a bit more $$ but has a decent cpu/ram setup plus a reasonable battery size). it's very satisfactorily tactile in the hand...
@evilstevie i was looking at the unihertz ones too! it's funny how many people actually _aren't_ eager about lugging a big slab when it comes to it. but can you buy any of them in a regular phone shop? nope.
