I'm looking at getting a Dell Streak 5 to use in the cockpit (running
XCSoar) and I'm wondering if it is necessary to have a phone contract
to use it or can I just use the "tablet" features as is?


Obviously, it would be an "unlocked" Streak, and I know I couldn't
place calls with it....


Would it connect to internet if wifi is available?

No contract needed and the onboard GPS and WIFI will work fine.


That's what I thought. Thanks!
