I recently upgraded my contract to get a new phone, but I still want to have some functionality from my Captivate, as it was a fantastic device, and it can still use the internet via WiFi and run without a sim card. So, I decided I'd try to see if there are any suggestions for a ROM that would work well to use my phone as an internet device, like a PDA, with no telephony functions. Phone functions don't have to be removed outright, but that would be pretty handy if they were. This phone has no service at all anymore, no SIM card, so 3G/data/messaging/calling isn't an option. Basically just want a ROM that allows me to use it for applications and browsing on wireless internet access.

This is the only one that I've seen. I can't really give you any recommendations though as I've never used this one or any other that may be out there.
