    Ladies and gents. I recently found my old sony erisson w595 mobile phone. Its still shiny and works just fine. I now have one of these fancy smartphone things.
    I dont want to sell or donate the sony ericsson.
    Is there any alternative use for this phone (besides a door stop) that doesnt require a degree in electronics?

    Features
    -bluetooth
    -mp3player
    -3.2mpcamera

    I use my first mobile, a Nokia from 1996 (?), as a paperweight to hold down paper that's going into the recycling. Probably a collectors' item now - or it would be if my youngest hadn't taken the aerial off when he was a toddler. :D

    Keep it as a backup phone.
    You'll be glad you did when your 'smart' phone decides to stop working / gets dropped a few cms to the ground / gets a drop of water in it etc...
