And their prepaid 1000 minutes option is hard to beat -- $100 and good for a year.

While it technically has web capability, I laughed at the woeful browser experience and haven't gone there since. It has a camera, I can store tunes on it, text (though I never do), but no usable apps. The TracFone plan - buy minutes as you need them, is perfect for folks like me who don't have the need nor want of a Smart Phone.

Hang on a minute, those damn kids are on my lawn again, I'll be right back..
