I did this when I bought my Touch Pro on ebay.
Interesting, I was lookig at getting a Touch Pro used, but saw the release date was just after the November 14 2008, required data plan date. Think it might be possible to get a newer release phone from ebay and have it activated on my (no data) xv6800 plan?
