Re: GSM Radio and IMEI
 
Well, since the device will have to have an airplane mode there's obviously a way to have the GSM radio off. The only trick is convincing it to turn the GSM radio off and leave WiFi / Bluetooth alone. Now if you're really gonna be paranoid, you'll want to change yout WiFi and BT MAC addresses too...

Re: GSM Radio and IMEI
 
I agree with everyone who's posted they assume that if there's no SIM it will be in an offline/flight mode and who assume that this means the radio's off and it's IMEI can't be accessed by a GSM network. However, I wonder if anyone knows for sure? I am new to this AMemo lark, so I don't know if this sort of thing would be handled by the open-source bits of the OS and, even if I knew that, wouldn't be able to understand the code...

gsm driver is closed source, afaik, thus you can't really know what's it doing (unless you dig deep :) ).. on the other hand, device in 'aero mode' is probably required (by laws etc.) to remain silent if engaged, so...
