We bought the Vodafone 541 mobile phone for our son who is 9, originally we wre going to get a very basic phone but this one was on special offer and we got it for about £20 including postage.

The phone is quite basic but does have some good features on it.
The camera is 1.3 megapixel which although not great by today's standards is fine for fun snaps, there is also a video feature but the picture quality is quite poor.
The phone has no internal memory so a memory card is a must if you want to download music or save pictures, we picked one up for under a fiver.
One feature of this phone is that it has a stylus which can be used on the touchscreen although I would say that you do have to press quite hard when using it compared to using your finger.

There are lots of little features on the phone such as blue LED lights on the front which light up as the phone rings and can also be used to navigate through the menu.

The touch screen is not as smooth to use as some of the more expensive phones on the market, but for the money I really have n complaints.

The phone is locked to Vodafone but we have a package set up for our son which is £10.00 a month and he gets 100 free mins plus 300 texts.

I bought the black version but it was also available in red or pink when I bought it.

Over all it is a smart stylish phone with added features such as bluetooth for very little money.

A great starter phone for a child, our son was 9 when he got his.
