The major problem is that she isn't going to sign a contract (in Canada its 3 years) or pay $100 a month to use it. Esther, you’re right that she might like some of the apps that are there.

When you get her one for Mother's Day, which I bet you will, download the "Flashlight" free app first. It's a perfect first application. Then look at some of the other apps I've posted on my site www.techandboomers.blogspot.com.

She just isn't willing to sign up for a contract. But, that is a good suggestion re: just getting a basic voice plan. I wonder if they have prepaid plans as well?
