My advice:

I know some of my friends that still go around flaunting some of these old phones, and am sure they are reading this right now. So awkwardly true, I once rocked the E63 & some other Symbian phones on that list, it was an adventure that had to end for new tidings to unfold with Android. It must have been a relieve for you to notice your device wasn’t included, however, if you have you phone there, whether second or third phone..just make sure you donate it to the poor, try one of those orphanage homes or send it to the village where you know there aren’t internet connection yet, but wait, my Granny uses an Android phone! So I guess it’s useless right?
