Thanks Mark, but hang on... apparently I have misunderstood something.
Are you saying that based on what you read I won't have to re-activate the phone (i.e. have to enter the SIM's unlock code, which presumably, based on numerous posts I can buy for ~$25) but merely add my carrier's EDGE's APN so I can sign in to Google?
