You can of course use FB through the BBY Browser without a data plan and without the App. I've recently given my nephew an old Bold 9000 with no SIM in it and he's using Facebook on my WiFi network. Obviously only works when he's at home but that's fine.

I also installed the gmail app for him over WiFi but it doesn't work even on the WiFi. I think that is possibly down to it needing a data plan and a SIM. Again, he is able to use the gmail through the BBY browser on the WiFi though.

I'm not sure whether this will hold true for the newer BBYs like the 9700 and beyond.
