I don't think it's that hard to keep a smart phone from connecting to a 
network. If it doesn't have a sim card in it, it won't be connecting to 
any cellular networks. If you don't want it connecting to wifi then 
either turn off wifi or go into airplane mode. I'm not not sure how easy 
it is to find a smart phone with a removable battery though.

          Hi Martin,<br>
          <br>
          I have a Samsung S7 that I bought used from my carrier for
          $50.  I'm<br>
          using the Smart Audio Book Player since that's mostly what I
          listen to. <br>
          The same programmer also publishes Smart Music Player.  VLC
          media player<br>
          is also good.<br>
          <br>
          The Smart player doesn't have near the features of RB but it
          has the<br>
          essentials - album/file oriented, good bookmarking system. <br>
          Auto-resume.  If one turns this feature on in config, it'll
          pick up<br>
          where it left off when something is plugged into the headphone
          jack.  It<br>
          has the option to go back and replay a specified number of
          seconds if<br>
          the phone is turned off.  The number of seconds can be
          specified as a<br>
          constant or a max.  When set to max, the replay interval
          increases the<br>
          longer the phone is off.<br>
          <br>
          The S7/Smart player combo sounds very good. The ear speakers
          are by<br>
          Etymotic (about $300).  I bought them about 30 years ago and
          today<br>
          they're as good as new.  I'm not sure they're still in
          business since my<br>
          email bounced but the site is up and running fine.  The only
          thing I've<br>
          tried which sounded better was my set of Klipsch Horns which
          were<br>
