Ask Slashdot: Best Use For an Old Smartphone?

zaba writes "The original iPhone was a dream come true for me. Phone, camera, mp3 player and data all in one device. It had more cpu and memory than my first computer! Several generations of smartphones later, my wife and I have some random smartphones (some iPhone, some Android) lying around. Between privacy concerns, bad batteries, etc. these phones are not worthy of donation. So, I ask you, Slashdot readers, have you done anything fun with an old smartphone? Any suggestions/ideas?"

Opera Mini was NOT a decent browser

Symbian did have Opera Mini and mobile which were decent browsers

You have go to be joking. Those things were crap compared to the iPhones REAL browser.

The system you dote on did a few things very well, but that was the end of it. The iPhone was far better at web browsing, had far superior UI and vastly more abilities (even before the app store opened!).
