For the purpose the OP needs this (fully functional phone for work and not just for a quick back up), this wouldn't be practical in the long run.
That is true, but I also think it's moot. Personally I think using a phone that doesn't have a screen in the long-run isn't really practical. Whether the Opie likes it or not, what they need is a new phone or a screen replacement.
Besides, I was specifically talking about using a keyboard and talkback to get the thing set up to use USB debugging and be controlled by PC. That's why I quoted loneninja. Because I was specifically responding to their comment.
