Would this make a good PMP/PDA?

I have (and love!) a T-Mobile S2. Everyone in my family is on AT&T or T-Mobile (save one on Virgin Mobile). I don't need a Sprint phone but I have seen these selling for around 150. I believe I could find a few good uses for it; I think it'd be a sweet little "iTouch"/camera/mini tablet for my flip phone using mother when my parents go on vacation.


Given that I wouldn't be using data and probably never talk/text unless I could find a BYOD CDMA carrier, how good a candidate is this for a modern PDA? How is it at MHL?


Thanks!

The SGS2 makes a great PDA.

Setup WiFi then check email, use IM, work your calender then play some music.

There are also some great free games on the G Play.

Ting is Bring Your Sprint Device MVNO so you can do that.

Why not just buy an Android tablet for your Mom? Those of us with "older eyes" can appreciate the larger screen sizes.

I got a N2A card for my daughter's NookColor and she is delighted to have a great little Android tablet w/ all the major book reading apps and a nice size screen. Even tho' DD is "technically challenged" now she's got herself an iPhone 5, so there is hope for your mom.
