I want to use the droid eris like an iPod touch persay, and just not use the cell phone part at all
You will not have any service from Verizon, phone or data, if you dont signup for the data plan. They will refuse to activate it on their network unless you pay for the extra $30 data plan along with whatever voice plan.
All you can do is buy the phone for $400 without any service and use it as an Ipod touch...good luck with that....
To all those disparaging the questioner;
I bought my phone from Verizon fair and square and I am going to Mexico where Verizon roaming charges are quite high. I would like to know if I can disconnect from Verizon servers and use the wifi without incurring Verizon charges.
Anybody knows?

What's funny is I have been contemplating the same thing. I recently got a job where they will be providing my cell phone (blackberry ), and won't have the need to pay for my own cell phone anymore. I am contemplating canceling my contract, forking out the money for the long term savings, and using my phone like an I Touch. I have was going to search the forum today to see how people have done it, and I was surprised to see the first thread deal with it. I'll be watching this throughout the day to see if any new info comes out.
There are legit reasons somebody would want to do this, makes no sense why the original poster was downed so much.
I'd guess that you'd still be able to call 911 on the phone, should the need arise.
