My brother recently tried to get a smartphone without a data plan (as the
phone he wanted was also Wifi-capable, and he was *quite* willing to be able
to do data-type stuff only when in range of an access point because he's in
range of one 95% of the time he'd want to use data features). But at least
one vendor said they wouldn't activate a phone under those conditions.
Anybody got a good pairing of Android-based smartphone and vendor willing
to play that game?
