The iPhone browser might connect over wifi (assuming the device's web interface does not use Flash). So I would need to set it up in the USA, where I will have a computer but no SIM card, or in Italy, where I will have a SIM card but no computer.
It would also have to be shipped so that it arrives before I leave in a little over a week.
Still, I'm tempted. The data plans look pretty good as long as no roaming is involved.

You shouldn't really have too many problems preconfiguring some profiles into your device before your trip. There are plenty of sites that list carrier APN settings. One of them is:
