Possibly. But you really need to get it if you plan to use any internet, because VZW will charge you by the MB, and those add up fast. You will also will not be able to use standard Blackberry functions, like PIN-messaging…oh, and I don’t think you can get Push email either. Also, no Wi-Fi on the Storm with VZW. Truthfully, I think it’s kind of useless to get a storm without a data plan, but it’s up to you.
