Can a Samsung Galaxy Previal be used as a test device for Android development?
<p>I have been researching the Samsung Galaxy Prevail for Android development. This phone is meant to be used on the Boost network. </p>

<p>Will the phone be usable as a test device if it is never activated on the carrier's network? Will the device be able to connect to the internet through WiFi if it is never activated?</p>

<p>What is to stop someone from buying the device and using it as a glorified MP3 player?</p>
