I don't think so, my dad just bought a Verizon Motorola Droid X2 and he doesn't have a plan for it yet or hasn't called the carrier and I've been trying to use the phone without their verification and I haven't been successful.
Yes you can, I do it all the time on my old iphones. Also use them as phones with skype over wifi.

It will depend on the design of the product. In most cases you will be able to use the PDA functionality when you do not have network service or out of coverage area. Some smart phones will not start/boot unless you do not have a SIM card from the service provider inserted in the phone.
What happens if you try to turn on an unactivated smart phone for instance could I still use it for the data on a wifi network without the service contract?
It depends on your specific model of smart phone. Many phones can be used in offline mode, which gives you access to the WiFi features, contact/phone book features (but you can't call out, obviously), apps installed with the phone that do not use the cellular network, and the camera. Some older phones would not work unless the phone had been previously activated, but that seems to have fallen out of common practice.
