Can/should I use my iphone 4s as a camera/ipad in Italy?
We have iphones via Verizon. I also have an ipad, but it is technically work property. I would really like to take the ipad with us to Italy, but I obviously don't want to for liability reasons. The reason I want to take the ipad is to use free wifi at our hotels, etc. to look at maps, help navigate, and do research about our next day's activities.
We do not plan to make any calls or texts, however, can we just take our iphones and turn off all calls/texts, etc. and soley just use it as a camera throughout the day and then as an internet resource when in wifi?
Do I switch it to "airplane" mode? Or is there something else I need to do? Will this avoid roaming/data charges? Any other recommendations?

I did this recently but I will caution you to be careful using those items in the public.
expensive electronics and phones might make your a target for thieves in tourist areas (ie the most likely places you want to snap pics)
I saw a guy on a bike take a phone from a woman's hand in a crowded market once.
My heart is as open as the sky.
Read about it on the blog
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
If the phone is in airplane mode, it won't connect to the internet at all, either by 3G or wi-fi.
you can turn airplane mode on and leave the wifi on so it will pick up a signal anywhere there's wifi for no charge.
This is what DH and I do on our trips. We have a regular digital camera too but hardly ever used it during our last trip. And don't get too paranoid about using your iPhone in public to take pictures - just use the same common sense you would use in any city and you'll be fine.
This is not true. When I was in the Dominican Republic last week, I left my phone in airplane mode and used wi-fi at the same time.
If you want to be extra careful, you also can turn off all cellular data and roaming. I think these options are found under either the general or settings menu.
