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.

    Install F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid repos and you can use it for whatever you find there. I use mine as an alarm clock, note pad, music player and spare camera around the house. Sometimes a browser (wifi) but it’s a bit old. I thought about putting all my recipes in text format and using it as a cookbook as well.

      That’s what I use an old phone for. In the kitchen it’s a timer, notepad, and music player. I read the news on it while having coffee.

      I could do that all on my main phone of course but if I’m cooking or having coffee my main phone is both off and elsewhere. I don’t like to be disturbed.

      Oh, and I use it to test apps before they go on my main phone.
