Officially, no. You can't use it until the phone is activated. It will only let you make emergency calls.

Don't worry about them being in stock. Apple has made plenty and they will still be there in 2 months

There is in fact a way but THAT is certainly illegal. I suggest not to violate Apple EULA nor AT&T agreements.
