What to do with old phone?

I've converted to Android. But I still love my HTC Touch Pro. I was hoping to get some good suggestions as to what I can do with it to keep it useful, other than the usual, ie; internet browsing, etc....

*update* I just read the dual boot thread, so I'll be trying that for sure.

Re: What to do with old phone?

I have a Titan without cell service (Wi-Fi instead) used as a permanent color Weather Station display via WeatherPanel and a full screen skin showing current/5 day forcast/radar and such...
Also have Skype running 24/7 in background, so it is still a phone...

Have also installed Pandora, but not liking the quality of sound...

You might wat to check out Today Screen type apps that display and update live data without you touching on subjects you like such as NFL scores, Stocks, RSS News Tickers, Traffic Cams, etc...

If you don't use Wi-Fi, you can always load up Garmin XT (not free) and keep in car permanently... Also can use to take GPS-Tagged Photos via camera....


You might use the Touch Pro Pre Alpha Android build to test out stuff you wouldn't want to to on you primary cell...

Re: What to do with old phone?

i would use it as a MP3 player and GPS for in the car. can also use it with the 4 way adapter and iplop video cable for portable movies. you could even get a LCD screen with RCA inputs and have a movie player everywhere you go.
