hold on to it



#3
keep it i guess
maybe nostalgia in the future if you manage to keep it for a long time

i've held on to all my old smartphones, but threw away all my old flip phones. you never know if you might need it for nostalgia or otherwise.

Make a video of you microwaving it then upload it to YouTube for profit



#6
Build a collection, just like old laptops. One day they will get binned.

Download a dashcam app and turn it into a dashcam. Buy a phone mount and cigarette charger adapter. You wont regrett it. If you get in one accident it will pay for itself. Also great for catching insurance fraud scams. You might even end up with a viral video.

i dont know why but i always keep them as a memory

Recycling it is always an option. It's actually really beneficial to do it.



#10
You can use it as a burner phone always good to have one.



#11
usually I try to sell them while they still have value when I get my new one



#12
I use my old phones as remotes or music players or similar. Sometimes as a backup burner phone if I need to travel.



#13
I just like collecting old tech, occasionally display it in my office



#14
I always hold on to them as a backup plan if I lose or break one.



#15
Maybe someone in need can take it ? Like maybe there is a org that can use it for somehting.



#16
I’d keep it or maybe see how much they go for some people might want them for a nostalgia trip



#17
I’d say keep it, or even give it to a younger family member.



#18
keep for nostalgia

You won't get much for it selling but you can use it to stream music or something. I also saw one being used as a controller for a DIY dumbwaiter recently.
