Just for info, I am in France (neufmobile, which uses the SFR network), and also don't have a data plan (nor do I want one). I can't remember exactly what I did, but I definitely didn't need to bust out the command line. I think I just cancelled out of things and got to the wifi connection and got internet. Then it all just worked. I DID however, follow the instructions for setting up the APN (even though I assure you I have no data plan, I just thought it was necessary...). Maybe the phones shipped after 2009-01-04 have this fixed? Cheers Anton
