This sounds a bit silly, but I've been talked into (ok dragged by my family) grabbing a smartphone. I've done my research and concluded that I'd like to get my hands on an unlocked T-mobile Nexus S (emphasis on "unlocked" as we're going abroad on vacation next month and would like to use our phones while over there). Thing is, my cell phone plan is currently one of those talk only pay as you go phone plans with no data. I'm satisfied with this plan for now (I'm not really a heavy caller), and while I'm planning to eventually make the leap to another T-mobile plan w/ data, any phone I'd use, including this potential Nexus S, would need to operate with that pay as you go plan.
Thing is, I'm not quite assured that this is really doable. I know it's possible to do with a smartphone in general, I actually have a family member in the exact same situation rocking an Xperia Arc S, but since the Nexus line is more tied to Google I was just wondering if there might be anything stopping me from using a Nexus S like this. I figure that if I can pull this off I won't need to carry both a phone and a media player with me, and in the medium-long term I'll get on a plan.
