Personally I didn't get my first phone until I was about 15. My little cousin got his phone at 5 or so years old, so I guess kids nowadays are growing up with electronics at an early age.
I got my shitty flip phone pretty young, but the only reason i got it was it was the year i started walking home from elementary school. I forgot my house keys one day and was stranded outside till my sister got home because I couldn't call anyone. After that, I had to call my mom and Grandma every day after I got home from school so they knew I got home. Sometimes getting young kids a phone is for safety reasons.
