Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question.

But I'm thinking of getting a new phone with the unlimited data plan. I've been eyeing the Samsung Gio, or the Galaxy. Will either of those work if I unlock them?

Yes, the browsing should work. To get most other Android applications working, you would need to root the phone and edit the IP tables.

i got the galaxy s 2 and just had it working on the SO plan and have data browsing up and running, and yes you need to root it for anything else, i will try those later tho

i would imagine that the older s would work just as well, as would most other GSM phones, i remember seeing a second hand htc hero on ebay for $100, old but i would think that if you just need email and web it would work splendid, maybe would need a new battery tho, but those are not that bad i think.

just make sure the firmware can be upgraded to 2.2 or 2.3. Older versions of Android have had issues with a proxy. I would argue it still does,. but at least there is a fix now.
