New to the board with a basic question. I'm a current AT&T customer eligible for an upgrade (past my 2 year contract) and I'd like to get a phone that has wifi accessibility so I can get onto the Internet. I'd like to avoid getting a data plan (so that eliminates the iPhone) and only use the wifi when I'm obviously near a hot spot. Any suggestions on a phone to buy? I'd consider porting my number over to Verizon (or possibly Sprint or T-Mobile). Thanks for your help.

Does anybody know if there is any way to get service through At&T on an Iphone and not have to pay for the additional Apple $30 data service and still get wi-fi? Basicly I want to use it as a Itouch but with a phone.

Can I use the iphone as a itouch (ipod) until a later date when i decide that i want to get the service. Also will the wi-fi work on it without the service?

for the iphone to work it must be activated i have heard of people using it just as ipod but only after the phone had been activated and than deactivated when the phone was bought at full retail price
