So, running it sans network connection would be okay... how about the actual act of flashing it/unlocking it?

EDIT:

Basically, after re-reading the SPL unlocker thing, here's what I've gathered:

1. You need to sync your device with your computer through Microsoft's utilities. Can be done, no problem.
2. You need the phone to be turned on, no airplane mode. Would it be ok if I had the phone on with no service from Verizon? Does it actually need to dial in to something or does it just need to be on?
3. You need to be connected to the internet. This is the big question for me. Since it's no longer attached to Verizon's 3G network, it connects to the internet solely through Wifi. Is this adequate?

Feel free to add in any other tidbits you guys think I should know. It'd be easier to do if it were still on Verizon, but it's not, so I wanted to see if any of you guys had done this on devices that were sans service.
