Can this phone still be used without service?

I recently upgraded from the Droid 2 Global to an HTC Rezound and my 7 year old wants to know if she can have the D2. I said, "Yes" but can she still play her games on it?
Also, can I install new games on it?
Of course I'm referring to non-data-using types of apps/games, kinda like Angry Birds(does that use data?).

I'd like to install a game (via usb) and just let her play it without having to worry about having a phone number and $tuff attached to the phone. Does that make sense? Kinda like a mini-tablet. I can physically remove antennae and stuff, as needed. I won't be going back to the D2 ever.

You can, however by law in the US any phone can call 911 regardless of whether it's active or cancelled or suspended...

You can still use it via wifi to connect to the internet and do basic tasks but anything involving the need of a activate Google account will hold things up.

my friend gave me this phone and as long as I have Wi-Fi, I can go to the application store and download things and such. I also have Google voice and gv SMS integration and groove ip which makes it just like a regular phone, as long as I have Wi-Fi of course; )
