Turns out Australia is removing 3G support nationwide and that means I have to upgrade. I've had my phone for at least 4 years but it runs well, I wasn't planning on upgrading for at least another year.

I want to keep using it, but I'm not too tech oriented so my thinking has been, " I can play music with it, some games, videos"...And that's fine. But perhaps some of you guys have more creative ideas? Curious as to what would you recommend.

Load it to the brim with literature pdf's, put in a faraday box incase an nuclear EMP or those monster solar flare things takes out all electrical components. I'm not a doomsday prepper or anything but did this with an old 256gb phone for shits and giggles. It's absolutely insane the amount of text documents 256gb holds lol
