It's better to demand (ask nicely?) for the product to be designed to be fully usable without activating the cellular portion\without a SIM inserted.
Last I checked... a cell phone radio version of anything never was as cheap as a $15-25 difference. I'll be damned before I buy a device with a huge markup just to have a radio sitting inside like an throbbing, sharply infected appendix I wish I could have removed.
