Resolved Question: Can I get Internet on Verizon Wireless phone without paying for a data plan?

I want a phone that can get wi-fi internet.. I was looking at the HTC Ozone.. went to the store, and after over an hour of waiting, the guy said I would need to pay the an additional $30/month for the PDA plan, regardless of whether or not I planned on using the Verizon 3G WAN. Anyone know if its possible to get around this? Maybe purchasing from a third-party vendor? I’m just bummed that I left empty handed

I’m also thinking they CAN do it but they are not supposed to.. maybe if I load up on accessories before I get to the counter? That might convince him, lol
Some sites are saying the Samsung i760 would work, anyone know if this is true?
