I've recently gotten a new phone (a G1), which means that I'm now in posession of a spare Nokia N95.
The volume down key is broken, which means it won't sell for very much, so I'd rather hang on to it for the time being.
Now I'm thinking, it's still quite a powerful device, has wifi, bluetooth, a tv-out and can do all kinds of stuff. Rather than add it to the pile of electronics I no longer use, there must be something cool I can use it for.
So far, the best idea I've had is to link it up to a larger screen of some kind, and set it to display news/weather or something.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to attach any USB devices, else I'd use it as some kind of NAS.
Has anyone got any better ideas for what to do with this spare phone?
