What to do with the wrong phone?

So a little while ago I bought a "Droid 2 Global in Black" on Amazon... but it turned out to be a LOCKED CDMA Verizon device. They won't take it back, so I'm stuck with it. I rooted and installed CM7, but I really can't think of a use for this phone. I don't think I want it as a media player or anything.
Any suggestions?

You could donate it.

You can use it as a home phone, land line replacement. Put a google voice number on it and set it up to work over wifi then just leave it at home.
That's what im doing with my droid when I place it.

That's a great idea, but sadly I can't get google voice in Canada.
Same problem with donating I guess. No one around here can use it.

Alot of devs could use a d2g. Even if it's not a working phone.

OK good to know, I will definitely keep it in mind. The phone works great, it's just useless to me since it's locked to Verizon.

I'm sure bikedude880 on rootzwiki would love a spare d2g.

+1 also works on more forums. You loose some of the customization, but I don't miss them.

Free 7" Tablet From Sprint!

Hey, it's not a Nexus 7...but not bad for free!
Buy a Sprint Phone get a ZTE Optik Tablet for FREE

Not a bad tablet for free, although I imagine they will make you get a data contract for it. It has the same display the Nexus 7 has, a 1280x800 at 7". Only downside is its running HC which is still much better than GB on a tablet. Although XDA has a fix for that as there appears to be unofficial CM9/CM10 builds out there:

It leoks nice I checked instorw

I believe theres a data plan contract tied to it,some sites are confirming this

So not free...man

Mobile Odin

First Mobile Odin app is worth the 4.99 I just used it to update my rooted Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 from io 4.0.3 to jb 4.1.1 .....

FYI, if you search here on XDA you can get a FREE version, it's got some limitations but will handle what your doing with it.

I also have the pro. Its an awesome app. I first had the free one from here. But it was such a useful app I bought it just to support him. Definitely helped with my epic touch.

Dude... Piracy is wrong

Yeah. We can all pirate apps. But when we pirate instead of paying we are pretty much slapping the dev in the face. Thanks do all your hard work on this awesome app I really need. I'm just going to steal it. That kind of mentallity will eventually drive the developer away. And then you will either have no app as a backup or a crappy one. I put for my apps because I appreciate their work. Same reason I donate to linux mint. I appreciate their work.
