To be honest, I prefer my Samsung BlackJack II more.

I called AT&T this morning because I'm thinking about getting my 12 year old an iPhone as well, but like you said about your niece, 12 isn't old enough to surf the internet without any restrictions. The person I talked to told me that there is an option called "Smart Limits" for $4.99 a month that lets a parent control what the child can do on an iPhone. You should look into it.

I will be the first to admit that I had a rather cushy upbringing, but I just can't see getting a 12 - 15 year old a $400 phone.
