I've looked around at many threads on this topic, but none give a definitive answer for my particular situation. I'm developing web applications intended to work on as many mobile devices as possible. In order to test these applications out, I will need a variety of phones of different OS's, aspect ratios, resolutions, etc. I would really not like to pay full sucker fare and data plans for all these devices. I work in an office with excellent wifi and zero cell reception. The applications I'm developing depend heavily on javascript and HTML5, especially the canvas element.
1) Are there any smartphones that will refuse to use wifi without a service plan?
2) Would these phones need to be unlocked/flashed/whatever, or can I pull it out of the box, plug it in, turn it on, and browse through wifi?
3) Will the wifi still work for this purpose if the phone has a bad esn? Would such a phone need some extra setup?
4) Are there any smartphones that will not comprehend javascript or HTML5 (esp. <canvas>)?
Thank you for your time.
