In addition to unlocking it, you flash it to recover locked features. If
you have a free and clear phone its easy enough
to get them unlocked. Flashing a phone can be a pain, mostly in finding
a flash that is not also locked or that has the
features that you want. Most phone manufactures are not releasing
unbranded flash packs for phones that have been
sold to only one cell co.

Like Jack suggests, you really need to check with Verizon.

I'm pretty sure there might be potential features that Sprint has  
turned on for that phone, that would prevent Verizon from working with  
it.  For instance, I had an older Verizon phone that didn't include  
location features and Verizon refused to turn it on.  (even though the  
phone I was using was even older and didn't include location tracking  
either)

Eighteen months ago Verizon said they were moving to a more open  
system, but I don't think they have moved very far in that direction  
yet.

Same band means yes.  Just unlock the phone.
