The 2700 is a barebones phone that will help keep your kids happy and your wallet light...


Highs: Inexpensive QWERTY messaging phone; lightweight; easy-to-read screen; dedicated emoticon menu button

Lows: Hard to see number key and punctuation icons; no threaded messaging; slow Web connections; no music player

Introduction

If Sony hadn't already used the appellation, the Sanyo SCP-2700 could easily be called "My First Cellphone." For just $30 (after the usual discounts and rebates), your pre-teen or tween gets a barebones, but stylish candybar phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and all the non-verbal communications options necessary – but little else. Subtly curvy, it feels a little cheap to our adult hands, but the 2700 – especially the flowery Impulsive Pink version – is perfect for a cellphone neophyte who might not know what they're missing.
