I currently own a Blackberry Storm and just bought a used 3G from my cousin. I would like to use it without activating a voice plan. I wanted to utilize it as an ipod and wasn't sure if I could use the wifi as well. Is there a way for me to do this? What steps would I take to use as an ipod and start adding songs? Is this a problem since it was registered to another person? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but know you guys are experts and any feedback would be great...Thanks!
in other words, you might look to sell your iphone to an unhappy storm user (as there are plenty of them on this site) and buy one of these instead. if my ipod classic wasn't so new and they weren't so expensive, i probably would have already done so myself.
also, have you tried removing the sim card and seeing if it would still function?
If you want to use it as an iPod touch only jailbreak it. If you want jailbreaking tutorial, I have a thread here called : free apps: the full tutorial.
Once you jailbreak it, you have access to the phone without the need of a sim card.
Great information guys. I landed this mint 3g for $125 off of a family member so figured I would try to make it work first. What a steal! I will have to look into jailbreaking in more depth. Once "jailbroken" I should be able to use it for wifi and add songs? Will I then be able to activate it one day if I wish? Thanks

My iPhone will pick up my wifi without being activated. I should be able to connect to my itunes and add it as a device too right? I was told today that I should remove the SIM card first, does that sound right?

Since you are on Verizon, your iPhone will not work on that carrier unless you jailbreak it. You can find more information on the software to jailbreak here:
