Yes. All smartphones need a data plan.

actually the only phones that REQUIRE a data plan are the blackberry devices. data plans are recommended to avoid outrageous data fees ($1.99 mb or 1.5 cent per kb) but they arent mandatory on the other smartphones/pdas.

no you dont.. but to use Vz Navigator, email, picture/video messaging, or the browser... then yes. you would. Verizon does allow you to block data. But then why would you need a PDA/smartphone ???

this is not true, as i know for a fact that vz does not require any pda phone except a blackberry to carry a data plan.

There is so much misinformation here I had to comment. I have a Q9c with verizon and you don't need a data plan. You also don't need data for VZ Navigator or picture messaging. VZ Navigator uses air time to download maps. Picture messaging is a text function and I have unlimited texting. I have had it for 6 months with no data overages as I am pay per KB. They will try and force you to get a plan, but I declined saying that I realize how not to use the web browser.
