I encourage anyone with Android phones in such situations to give them to the LUV hardware library. Even 5yo Android phones are nice little embedded Linux systems that can be used for running your own programs.
they also make nice WIFI VOIP handsets if you're running asterisk or similar, especially if you've got a charging dock so that they can stand upright. Makes a quite decent alarm clock too. most android phones will work in WIFI-only mode without a SIM card. I'm still using my old HTC Desire HD, but i'll probably replace it sometime in the next few years. When i do, i'll keep using it as a WIFI handset for asterisk until the battery dies. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
