What to do with a lost then found O2 XDA Ignito?

[HPJ]

Hi there,

As the title suggests, I lost my XDA Ignito, claimed on my insurance, and then 2 weeks later found the original one (behind the sofa, battery had come out...).

So my question is: what can I do with it? If anything at all?!

I'm not looking to scam anyone (just in case anyone is going to get on their moral high horse about this), but at the moment it's just a lump of plastic and electronics, and surely it could be put to some use?

Could I use it as a second phone? Or should it just become a very expensive paper weight?

It does work (ie turn on), but I haven't put a sim in to try it.

Anyone's thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

HPJ

Did you report as lost to your network?
If you did the IMEI will be blocked, so you wouldn't be able to use it as a phone,however the Diamond/Ignito has a lot more features than just a phone:you could use it as a GPS device or a WiFi net tablet.

If you have not reported it to your Network provider then the phone function might still work. Although the insurance company might have listed on the stolen phone database. I believe the database is called CheckMEND .

But however legally it is now property of the insurance company so don't do anything stupid like register it for insurance or take it to service centre.

Hope I was helpful, :)

Yes you were helpful, thank you. And apologies for the late reply - I was not subscribed to receive notifications of any replies.

Ok, so I basically have a Diamond I can use for Sat Nav / Music and whatever else. Seeing as I now have a new phone (moved to iphone and very very happy!), I guess the old Ignito will sit around gathering dust.
