I have a question regarding the HTC Imagio on Verizon. I used to use it as my main phone, but times have changed and it's just started to collect dust. I'm thinking of using it as a PDA-like device, since I already have a dumbphone.

I thought ROM flashing would be a good way to increase the performance and reliability of the device, as well as get rid of some of the crap Verizon put on there. There's only one problem: on many of these flashing programs, I read that you need the radios active. The device no longer receives service from Verizon, and its only way to talk to the world is through wi-fi. It's basically an iPod Touch running Windows Mobile.

My question is this: will this lack of subscription to Verizon's services keep me from flashing custom ROMs? It'd be nice to do, but I don't want to trash the thing, even if it is going on two years old and just sitting around.
