I was able to get it working by using some of the instructions posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452316 I'll describe the exact steps that I used. Of course, use them at your own risk and don't blame me if something goes wrong. 1) Install the android sdk on a computer and setup a usb connection as described here: http://code.google.com/android/intro/develop-and-debug.html#developingondevicehardware 2) Use the adb program from the sdk to launch a shell on the phone: adb -d shell 3) In the shell, become root and modify settings.db to remove the "no sim card found" screen lock: su - sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ settings.db INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1); .quit 4) Reboot the phone. 5) Reconnect with the adb shell and launch the settings activity (does not require root): am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings 6) Using the settings activity that you've launched on the phone's screen, enable wifi. 7) Activate the phone with a gmail account. After the above steps, you should be able to do most things without a sim card.
