[android-beginners] wifi and GPS only
Hello everyone, I noticed that the development handsets (unlocked SIM & hardware) are available on Google. One question I would like to ask is if I'm able to use the handset without a SIM? I would only like to use the GPS + Wifi on the device as I don't want to get tied into a cellphone plan. I'm also planning to develop on the phone too.

I myself is living in Ontario Canada and I'm just waiting for my friend to buy it in the states. Other than that, you can wait till the first quarter in 2009 and _maybe_ there will be a release in Canada (I really hope so). -- David Duong --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
