I currently have an iPod Touch, I want to buy the Nexus 4, but don't want to get a plan (SIM Card) for a while. Will the device work like an iPod Touch/ Wifi capable, but no access to data away from Wifi/Call/Text.
Tell me more

Yes - all android devices will work without a SIM card, and can be connected to wifi for an internet connection. |

Some Android devices, mostly older ones, and CDMA2000 devices, will attempt to let you not use them without activation. Usually the 'provision' application has a secret code that can bypass the 'mandatory' activation - e.g., on the Motorola Droid 2 Global it's upper left corner, upper right corner, lower right corner, lower left corner (the lower corners being ABOVE the software buttons, not the absolute corner of the screen) - do that and you can use the phone unactivated (for battery life considerations, put the phone in Airplane mode). Newer devices, including the N4, should just let you skip the activation altogether; a lot of the Google applications will continually beg for Google Credentials, however, if you don't log in. |
