verizon/wifi/home
Ok I was thinking about buying this phone but had a few questions. I will not be using the unlimited data plan, i have no need for it, i want mainly the planner, bluetooth,camera, text.

Yes this is quite possible. as you mentioned, you would need to do the registry hack to get the phone and wifi to be on at the same time, i use phm regedit and it works great. next i would suggest going into your connections manager and then go to the verizon connection. if you go through the different options you will see a spot for username and password. if you just put in a user name and no password then everytime it wants to connect to the verizon data service this box will pop up first asking for user name and password. since you didn't do a password you can hit okay to connect or cancel to not connect. i like this because if i accidently start to connect up to verizon, this will catch it before any billing starts. hope this help...
