I happened to have a test case appear.
A brand new Blackberry Bold 9000, from AT&T.
No SIM, no activation of any sort, was able to connect and surf via WiFi.
The little "WiFi" indicator stayed dim, didn't go bright like it normally
does with a data plan enabled SIM inserted.

With a previously enabled SIM/cellular based BIS authorization, the same
thing works... you can surf, but you have to select the "HotSpot Browser"
in the browser options screen.
