I hear the new Storm 2 will have WiFi. Question...and forgive me if i sound dumb cuz i'm new to all this smartphone stuff.....

If you have WiFi on your phone is there a need to have a data plan from your carrier? WiFi is free right? So i would just need to open up browser and go if i have a WiFi signal right? If so, why have a data plan? And would my carrier still somehow bill me for going on internet if i use WiFi? Please help me understand. Thanks

Verizon requires a data plan on all of their smartphones.

Not sure which one would be faster. The real point is that if you want to activate a smart phone on Verizon's network you will have to get a data plan. Then you will have a choice. If you find wi fi to be faster then use it. Wi fi won't be available everywhere.
