Have you ever thought your smartphone is perhaps doing TOO many things? Rather than trading in your old smartphone when you get a new, more powerful one, you might want to consider keeping your older "handheld computer" and dedicating it to certain useful tasks, rather than trading it in.
For example, although it won't have a cellular voice/data access, when connected to WiFi it still has data connections so you can browse the internet, check Facebook/Twitter/etc., send/receive email, and even use Skype or Facetime for phone calls! An 'old' smartphone makes a great remote control for streaming internet video (YouTube, NetFlix, Hulu Plus) from your ($35) Google Chromecast-equipped HD-TV.
Plus, the camera still takes photos, your old device still plays music, and of course, you (and other family members) can still play your favorite games!
Kim Komando has (as usual) some great tips on what to do with your old one.
