    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?

    Check the torque forum for details, but nearly all the features should work without a data plan.

    I see no reason that rooting should be necessary.

    $30 for a new brand new Android device sounds like a really good deal....is it a good deal or is it a crappy device that Target is just "blowing out" to get rid of them?

    I am using one that I won on wifi only right now. Everything seems to work that sjould without voice or data. Its a mice phone. Seems very qiick coming from optimus v. Lots of memory in comparison!
