WRONG ON BOTH COUNTS!
Verizon does not turn it off. They will limit your ability to do
both Wi-Fi and phone at the same time. I am a Verizon customer and
my phone does Wi-Fi, but not at the same time. (By the way it chews
up battery time something fierce)
Verizon does not sell reprogrammed equipment, but you can activate
any CDMA phone that has the new digital stuff on Verizons
network. You may not be able to do it online, but you can take it
into the store and as long as the number (digital serial number)
clears they will program it for you.
They key is it must be CDMA compatible phone.
I may not like everything these folks do (Cell phone carriers in the
US place way too many limits on their phones) but let us not tell falsehoods.

It may not be the unit- it is often your cellular provider that turns off
WiFi- Verizon comes to mind. So, from what I recall, the 700 does have WiFi-
if your vendor is NOT Verizon. I think you need to have AT&T service or
reprogram the device to have WiFi (NOTE: Verizon and Sprint refuse to accept
reprogrammed devices).

Subject: [CGUYS] Phone or PDA
I'm trying to decide between something like a Treo 700 or a Palm TX. I
currently use a Palm 500 and a Samsung cell phone. I like the idea of
having the PDA and cell in one unit but I can see disadvantages as well
(size for one). On the other hand the TX has wifi which would allow me
to check email just about anywhere. Are there any cell phones like the
Treo that would allow you to use non proprietary wifi? I'm not
interested in paying $60 a month for something like Edge or whatever
Sprints equivalent is just to occasionally check my email. Any thoughts?
