[QUOTE="joeeattaboy, post: 2298776, member: 281120"] You don't "activate" Google Android. Android is the operating system that runs the phone. Most Android phones require that you have or create a Google account before the phone can be set up. I don't think you can do this without have some kind of data access, and I'm not sure if you can do it via wi-fi during the initial setup, In fact, it's highly unlikely. I have owned two Android phones (T-Mobile G1 and a Google Nexus One on T-Mobile) and for the life of me, I cannot imagine how you can utilize these kind of phones to their fullest capacity without a data plan. Flashing has nothing to do with this. You can flash custom ROM images to the phone to give you a newer version of Android, but you still need data. What you could do is activate the data plan for a month, get the phone set up, then cancel it. If you own the phone and are NOT under a contract, they really can't refuse you. [/QUOTE]
