well, you can't 'activate' the phone without a sim card...but after you sign in with google and everything, you should be able to take the sim out and still use the phone.

i use a g1 as a backup phone. even if i don't get my sim card out of my broken/wet/lost/whatever current phone, i can still text message over wifi (through google voice/others), use all other features of the phone, and call through voip.

wow...i am sooo tired of hearing people complain about not seeing AdBlock+ on every single article. lifehacker has featured it before many times... (like here, or here, or here. Or here if you really want the list.)Everyone already knows about it . just the fact that you're complaining about it not being included is…

same, i've user (to some extent) Voice since Google decided i should, and it's saved me multiple times. i started as just using it for my 'work' line, but now (with the groups, and screening/voicemail options it gives you) i use it for everything. :)

unless you're hosting more than 4294967296 machines on your home network, you don't need ipv6....

if anyone is wondering, ecoute is french for listen. :)

@mrjeremiahross: mmhmm agreed.

@Whitson Gordon: *tries to thumbs-up Whitston*

@Alicemagic: +1 on that. :)

@Old Mac Throwback:

@Who-really-cares: implying casual users don't always save their logon (login?) info so they don't have to type it.

@Brian Levinsen: haha this is a good thing, but it took me FOREVER to figure it out.
