I opted in early for a VZN HTC Thunderbolt and used it mostly with satisfaction for nearly 30 months. In that time I used it strictly as it came out of the box - no root. I did purchase the extended battery and extended back. I now use a VZN iPhone 5, but only for the last month. I like the iPhone a lot, but I do miss some thing that I could do on the TBolt and not on the iPhone. But I am still learning the 5.
Now what do I do with my T'bolt? It's not worth much to sell, so I am thinking that it could be a good WiFi device, external HD (the changeable microSD card pretty much means that the storage is unlimited), media player, a pretty good WiFi camera, and probably other things I've not even thought about.
I'm thinking that there is not a way to use it again as a phone, but maybe there is an app I do not know about.
Anyway, I have 3 questions?
1. Is this a decent plan? and if so
2. Should I root the thing if I want to use it as a WiFi device?
3. Are there other uses I am not aware of?
Many thanks in advance to anybody who weighs in.
