droid phone only as music player and camera

[patrickvol]

i found i very cheap phone that can not be activated due to money owed on contract, but can it be use as a movie and mp3 player with a camera? and how functional would it be? my ipod touch just broke so i am trying to find a cheaper replacement. any input would be great thanks

It would pretty much do everything except make calls, texts and probably navigation, everything else should work.

I think...

Good question, I was wondering the same thing as well.

But doesnt the phone require you to log into a google account as soon as you boot?

And not everything would work...as apps such as Shop Saavy require internet, which requires a data plan, correct?

use wifi itll work

you can skip the google log in screen by tapping the corners of the touchscreen in a clockwise direction, starting at the top left corner i believe.

WIFI still works, so you have access to Apps and internet.

Navigator won't get map updates while you're traveling because it downloads them on the fly, but you can get a GPS App with offline maps, NDrive and Copilot Live appear to be the biggest players right now.

You can use SipGate (VOIP service @ sipgate.com), SipDroid App, Google Voice, and GV Call Free to make and receive free calls over WIFI. SipGate allows free incoming calls and outgoing calls at $0.019 per minute. GV Call Free routes outgoing calls to Google Voice, which call your SipGate number and then completes the call to the other party. It's a little complicated, but very cool technology.

All the stuff the Droid Does, it will still do. Music, videos, Apps, whatever. You just need WIFI if it requires the internet.
