Can you order a iPhone 5 on the apple store online without a carrier plan?

I want to buy a iPhone 5, and order it from the Apple Web Site. But i just want to use it with Wi-Fi, i don't want any plan from Sprint/Verizon or At&t. Can I purchase it like that? Or do you have to order it with a carrier plan?

Yes, but you have to pay full retail price ($649.99 for the 16gb model)

you do know Apple is putting out the next-gen iPod touch which is virtually the same thing as the iPhone 5 without data/plans.

You can get it with out a plan $799, you will still need a plan before you can use it.
if you only going to use it as a ipod touch, just get the ipod for $200
