Using De-activated Droid as Ipod Touch

[chtorr281]

I currently have a Droid 1 under contract. If I upgrade to the Droid X and the Droid 1 gets deactivated, will it still function like normal with wifi? I just want to give it to my daughter so she can use it on wifi for web browsing, mp3s, games, etc. just like an Ipod Touch.

A deactivated Droid won't constantly be asking for you to activate it or have other problems?

Thanks,
Chris

My friend from school has a droid 1 that he hasnt activated yet, and he just uses it as an ipod basically, and he has downloaded some apps and stuff. but i dont know about the being asked to activate thing

No it wont ask you to activate. Just turn on wifi and you're good to go.

awesome! More reason to keep my d1 when I upgrade.

like the other posts won't ask to upgrade.

makes a great media device once it's time to upgrade. that's my plan as well.

Anyone here speaking from firsthand experience?

I assume a deactivated Droid won't work unless you find a way to bypass the activation screen:

Of course I'm not speaking from firsthand experience.

I just upgraded to the fascinate from a droid 1 and I could still use it just fine over wifi. I can't confirm market worked though, but its perfectly usable still.

I still use my Omnia as a PDA via wifi. The only thing I can't do is text,pix messages, or make calls since they must use the network.
Don't know why a Droid would be any different
