I'd forgotten about any cellphone (even unactivated ones) being able to call 911. That reason alone is enough to go pick one up and give it to my in-laws who refuse to pay a monthly cellphone bill, to charge one and stick it in their glovebox in their car for emergencies. That is such a great idea!

BTW: like your creativity and how you're using cheap cellphones for various types of devices. Ever consider starting your own thread and posting all your uses and ideas? I'm betting other Freepers also have other uses and ideas, and not just for cheap smartphones.

I second usconservative, Bobalu.

Bobalu’s CheapTechPingList.

Camera quality is getting to the point that photogrammetry will be possible (or is).

And there is a design program (OnShape) that loads completely in the browser. Mix those capabilities (which are cheap) and you are a long way down the road with cheap tech.
