Interesting. An iPod would work, too, if you're not using the 'phone bit
of it. An iPad too, but they're expensive and bigger to carry around.

Precisely why I suggested 3rd party browsers that do not require BIS,
and which I provided a means to install without OTA.

For wifi, I think the phone would work as is. For use on the air,
presumably using airtime, the APN would have to be set. For instance,
my APN (access point name) is set to epic.tmobile.com. No password
requires. This is in the TCP/IP menu under options.There are lists of
APN on the net for various providers.

Ahh okay, I'm with you now. Carry on.

I find the image of a doctor "happy as a pig in sh*t" a bit septic.
I do hope you scrub before attending to patients :-) .
