Why would you need WI-FI if most new devices are EVDO ready? CDMA atleast.
Why would anyone want a digital phone when analog coverage will make calls just fine?
WiFi coverage in the United States covers a much larger area and the signal is more reliable than EV-DO on CDMA.
Many reasons, such as allowing additional coverage on a company campus, such as Google, HSN, etc. where carrier coverage may not be the best. Build a good wifi network, and expand data coverage for customers of any carrier who have a wifi device.
Also, many people may want wifi for other reasons, and do not want to pay the exhorbitant data plan prices from Verizon.

wifi is for people who cant have HSDPA 😛
Or for people who want to augment HSUPA with WiFi.
Now that I have a regular phone. (LG-vx9900) I STILL use the Wi-fi. (the Avx-6700 is NOT attached to a number) still without being charged any fees.
