Does anyone know if it's possible to activate a Hero without a data
plan? I know ACS won't sell you one without a data plan, but what
about just switching ESNs on an existing phone? Are there any
technical reasons why you can't just turn mobile data off on the
phone, and only use voice (like a feature phone)? I ask because I am
usually around wifi, and am unlikely to use data heavily.

I see online there's a fairly active OSS community modifying Android
builds. Anyone have experience flashing their Android phone in Alaska?
