Turns out Australia is removing 3G support nationwide and that means I have to upgrade. I’ve had my phone for at least 4 years but it runs well, I wasn’t planning on upgrading for at least another year.

I want to keep using it, but I’m not too tech oriented so my thinking has been, " I can play music with it, some games, videos"…And that’s fine. But perhaps some of you guys have more creative ideas? Curious as to what would you recommend.

    i have bad luck with phones so i go through them faster than most so i always the the $100 androids.

    in the past i’ve used them as ip cameras as part of a homemade security monitoring systems using motion; car dash cams; car backup cameras; homemade lojack; car stereo screens; parallel parking sensor aides; secondary alarm clocks; intermediate android auto proxies; backup alarm clocks; and secondary phones for applications/control that my employers have mandated; system interface screen; bathroom readers; usb drives; wifi extenders; and remote controls.
