The larger swipe surface and expanded controls are preferred by some, and

AirPlay

fixture: Lots of people mount their phone in the car to use map

permanent
car entertainment device just be sure you can easily hide it when you park
somewhere public, so as not to entice thieves. If you always mount your
phone
in your car, maybe you should leaving your old one in there permanently.
The
same goes for mounting it to your bicycle handlebars, or making it an
impromptu GoPro recorder for your bicycle helmet. You would be a lot less
squeamish about risking your old phone in situations where it might bet
banged
up. Your phone can be a great kitchen companion, too. Timers, recipes,
using
Siri for conversions but it's not easy to keep it clean. Your old phone
can be
your permanent kitchen phone, one you won't mind getting a little sauce
on.
For the phone or bike applications, you might want to consider getting a
data-only SIM for up-to-date mapping data and streaming music while you
are on
the go. Downloading everything ahead of time on your home Wi-Fi will only
get
you so far.</FONT></P>
