The M300 was the perfect choice for our 7 year old. He loves the kajeet sticker buddies that came with the phone and promptly decorated his phone with the characters. The parental controls are fantastic and keeps him safe too. We set it up so no calls or texts during school and homework hours, except for his parents. I think the kajeet phone really makes sense.
We bought the Samsung phone and Kajeet service for our son's 13th birthday and have been nothing but happy with the service. The phone is pretty basic, but the online service from Kajeet is fabulous.
We can put money into separate "wallets" on the Kajeet site and select whose "wallet" calls and text messages come out of. Calls and texts to parents and grandparents come out of our "wallet," while calls and texts to friends are paid for by our son.
It's a really great choice for a first phone.

About Kajeet
Kajeet was founded by three three dads figuring out how technology, kids and parents work best ("Kajeet" is an anagram of the first letters of the names of the company's founders' children). Kajeet's entire philosophy springs from a simple core idea: kids are smart. And they should be agile with technology, empowered and safe, and be able to respond with confidence to what's happening in their world.
Because having a cell phone is not just fun, it's a responsibility--a shared responsibility, Kajeet wants parents and guardians to be involved too. Thus, Kajeet is designed to incorporate a full suite of tools to help families customize and manage every aspect of their Kajeet experience.
