Hi, I want an Andriod device in my car just to run Torque.

I don't want to buy a cellphone plan from Virgin but need Bluetooth for the car interface and Wifi for updates etc.

Does anyone know if the Virgin Mobile Kyocera Rise (on sale at Target 12/26/12 for $29.95) can be used without a cellphone plan as a small Android device?

Will I need to root it?
If so, what is the easiest way to root the Rise?
