Hi,<br><br>Yes, it works fine as a handheld computer if you don't put the SIM in or simply turn it off in some settings.<br><br>Have fun!<br>Michal<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/7/15 Brolin Empey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brolin@brolin.be">brolin@brolin.be</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hello list,<br><br>I am planning on buying a FreeRunner. I need to check with my carrier (Speak Out Wireless in Canada) about cellular usage outside of my home area, but I may want to use my FreeRunner without cellular service. Is this possible? Does it work well? Do I have to remove my SIM or can I disable the cellular service without removing the SIM? I do not have a data plan. I guess the FreeRunner should work fine without cellular service since it is more of a handheld computer with phone functionality than only a cell phone, but I have never used any Openmoko phone so I do not know. My Nokia 6103b is actually my first and only cell phone because I have had a cell phone only since 2008, so I am relatively new to cell phones. I am young (0x16, which my dad says means I can drive in Silicon Valley. ;)) and am a computer enthusiast, though, so I can easily learn new computer-related things.<br>
