What can I do with a Droid without service?

Wow. Paper weight, that's harsh.

My friend gets a lot of mileage out of his father's throwaway jailbroken 3GS using it as his dumbphone and, apparently, you can selectively disable data/3G on iPhones and the folks at AT&T aren't that drastic requiring folks to get data just based on phone model possessed. Since I'm leaving Big Red in November, I'm interested if use of WiFi, exclusively, was possible. I figure that if I don't have a plan with them, I should be in the clear. Figure I'll use it as a ultramini tab while hanging with whatever Dual core device Sprint offers.

You can do anything a Droid with cell service can do except calling/texting.

What you now have is basically an iPod Touch.

Both answers are sweet. Can't wait to use this badboy to listen to music and hold the trigger on the gas pump.

I think you can still send texts if you have a Google voice account with the use of wifi.

As the TB release is approaching , I was thinking what to do with my Droid . So I decided to pull a micro-USB cable up to the middle of the wall , stick the Droid over there with it's keyboard open in desk clock mode and have one fancy wall clock .

dim everything and do as much to keep it as a MP3 player with games. I plan to use it as my main player/USB drive once I get my evo in a week.

Skype

I might be wrong, but I think Skype only works on 3G and not Wi-Fi

I also recall Skype only working on 3G....

Media player.. throw some MP3 and movies on it....

Download the app from Skype's website. It will work on WiFi. I have been using it for some time with great success!


Skype for Android Phones
