Can an unlocked Nexus One without a carrier be used as a standalone device? I'm interested in playing around with the new open android open accessory development kits but don't want to pay a monthly fee for having a cell-phone. If I buy the Nexus One/S unlocked and forgo getting a wireless carrier, would I still have access to the full set of phone features minus 4G/Calls/Texting? In the past, cellphones minus the carriers were crippled from doing anything useful. I'm wondering if this is still the case with the newer smart phones. Essentially it'd be an android-powered iPod Touch.
Yes, it works fine for me without SIM-card. I can still use WiFi for accessing Internet.
