Well call me Mr Butterfingers
I suppose so. But you'll still need to pay the $70 a month minimum for those 2 years. You might be able to ETF it and end up paying the ETF fee ($200 for AT&T I think?). You have to do it after 30 days (doing it before, you won't get charged the ETF but you'll have to return the iPhone). So you'll have to pay at least one month worth of service for $84 or so (after taxes).
The first iPhone could operate SIM free because you bought the phone and signed up for a contract at home through iTunes. Now you can't leave the store without service.
Yes, you should be able to use it without a SIM-card afterwards.
For example, last June 29th, I bought the original iPhone and signed a 2-year contract with AT&T.
On July 11th (this year), when I upgrade to the new iPhone (and sign another 2-year contract with AT&T), my old iPhone should work fine without a SIM card.
All iPhones will work without a SIM card. They have to be activated first or fake activated via a hacking tool.
i just bought it from my friend like 3 hrs ago

Why do you say that? Just jailbreak it with blackra1n or pwnage tool. Problem solved.
ive been trying for five hours
it keeps goin back to the same screen that says i need a SIM card
If you are using Pwnage Tool for example, you need to make sure to check the box that says "activate" that will make the phone "hacktivated".
