what to do with my extra EVO?

I have an interesting situation:

I lost my phone about a month ago, only to get it back just recently. Turns out an elderly lady found it, took it home and forgot she had it. When her son found it at her house he contacted me via messages I left on the phone. Ive since used my insurance to get a replacement phone, and now have two. Ive spoken with sprint and the insurance company and they know I have the old phone and didnt ask for it back. Sprint even told me to keep it for a paper weight!

So heres the question- What can I do with it??? Sprint locked the serial number, and wont unlock it. Is there a way to make use out of it?

Yes, you can use it as a wifi mini tablet, or you can flash it to metro pcs, or cricket and sell it

You can send that extra evo to me for free.

If you made an insurance claim, the ESN will be locked
