Hey everyone!

Just a curious, is it possible to walk in the Apple store buy an iPhone 4 16GB at retail for $500 something. Not activate it, Jailbreak it, and give to a family member abroad for his birthday?

What I am asking is: Can you Jailbreak without activating the phone by connecting it to the internet via Wi-Fi?

I know when I got my iPhone, Apple said do you want to buy it without a contract for 5-something or with an AT&T contract (w/2yr) for $199.99

But contridicting to Apple's site it says:
"Can I buy an iPhone without an AT&T contract?
No. iPhone requires a two-year AT&T wireless service contract."

I'm just a bit confused and if someone could clear the smoke that would be great! Thank you in advance
