    I have an old Nokia 3330 that doesnt work any more.

    I might pickle it, or I might burn it, or i might soak it in heavy duty paint stripper....

    Any other creative ideas?

    Bah, thats BORING!

    I was thinking about using the school's physics lab to put 30,000 Volts over the battery terminals... but I don't think they'd let me do that just yet :p

    I'm liking the pickling idea. It would be a very cool photo :D

    Aerodynamic total impact test: Strap it to a rocket engine and aim it at a brick wall.

    Goldie, see if they have a donation system for the elderly...in the states they ask for donated old cell phones to give to the elderly to call 911 for emergencys !!!! don't need a cell account to dial 911 on any cell phone here,,,Glenn :) :) :) :)

    Okay, first ill roll it in some bicarbonate of soda, and drop it in some white spirit... while filming it on a white background. Cool ;) Might get a broken phone on eBay and do the same, see if I can sell it to a film archive or somthing :p

    Then, re-enforce the casing with some sort of high dentity foam, gut the inside of it, stuff some rocket engines to it and see how far it goes :p

    There may also be a similiar program for victims of domestic violence. You just might be able to save a life.

    glenn and JP, it is the same in the UK, but the phone didnt work to start with. Like at all. It wouldn't even boot up. Wouldn't be any use to anyone at all, and would probably be more effort to fix than would be worth it.

    In that case, there is my favorite, the always spectacular M-80 firecracker.

    $3.00??? I think I'd rather see an explosion than get a $3.00 cheque

    open it up
    fill it with gunpowder, insert fuse
    close it up
    wrap it in denim soked in fuel
    stap it to a rocket
    tie the fuses together
    shoot it up and watch it blow

    what is the current currency exchange rate. . . .?

    $3.00 is about £1.50. Yeah. Thats like, a sandwich... maybe even a cheap chocolate bar if you're lucky.

    Put it in the Microwave. That might be a little dangerous, but fun.

    Mmm... unfortunatley I'd have to donate an old microwave to the cause too... cause there's lots of metal in there and i have a feeling the aerail will make one heck of an arc with a couple of million volts going through it.
