Yes. Verizon phones on the home CDMA network wil work without the SIM card installed. I have a Blackberry Storm, fully functional without the SIM in it. Phones on other networks may have limited functionality (i.e. 911 only) without the SIM installed.

- If you mean "Play games, surf the web, and use e-mail on a Wifi network," then yes. But then, all you have is an expensive iPod Touch.

All current iPhones require a SIM card; even Verizon phones due to the 4G LTE network. Other Verizon phones which use only the CDMA network don't need a SIM, but any 4G smartphone will have one.
