I can't find a definitive answer for this online but maybe one of you guys would know since we seem to have some techies in the house...can you use an iPhone as a camera (for both photo and video) and transfer those files via wi-fi without actually having service on the phone through a cell carrier? What about file transfer via USB onto a computer?

Simply asking since I'm in the planning stages of a trip and carrying a phone would be much easier than toting a DSLR or digital camera around. Obviously the phone would have to be unlocked but don't know how smartphones and carriers work since I'm still on pre-paid flip-phone technology and don't want to change that.
