Verizon phone with WiFi, but no Data Plan? I'm a college student, on campus all the time, and I don't need a stupid phone that has internet 24/7 nor do I have the money to pay over $360 a year for internet fees. I'm looking for a Verizon Smartphone that has Wi-Fi but does not require that stupid Data Plan they are forcing on all the good phones nowadays. The "Sharp KIN TWOm" is the only smartphone I've found that has Wi-Fi, but doesn't require the data. Anyone know of any other ones? If it's old, I don't really care. I'm using a Palm Centro right now. In other words, I'm looking for a wifi phone that is at least as good as the Centro, preferably better. 10 hours ago --- And to all the wise guys out there, I know that the TWOm is not a "smart phone" by Verizon's standards, but you know what the heck I mean.

Does Verizon wireless have a WiFi capable phone? My contract renewal time is coming up in a few months. Time to look at phones again.

Does Verizon have a good Wifi cell phone..with either touch screen or qwerty keypad? i cant find anything!? I have the enV now..the original one...and its wearing down on me. I would like a phone with Wifi. It would also be a major plus if it was touch screen or had a qwerty keyboard. This has to be verizon. I see the that Blackberry bold is for ATT only and the Blackberry Storm (for whatever reason) will not include Wifi. Im lookign at the Samsung i760...cuz it has all the features + WM6 which is cool too..but the front of the phone looks..ugly...like they ran out of room for all the buttons. It looks more like a video game controller. Anyone have any ideas?

Any suggestions? I do not want to have to pay to go online. I want to use the wi-fi for just that reason.
Will Verizon require me to get a data plan if I purchase Wifi phone? I bought a HTC VX6800 off Ebay and my dad got the HTC Touch Pro. Both phones have WiFi but we heard some rumors about Verizon requiring us to purchase data plans if we had WiFi phones. Is this true? It's not that I don't want internet and email but I don't need any of those things. I don't want to pay extra for something I won't be using often or at all. Should I just get a different phone?

BTW, I did try all the obvious remedies for wifi interference prior.
