For verizon services you don't need wifi. As long as you can make a call you have internet so having wifi would be pointless and would just make the device more bulky.
1. Fast internet, even if the cellular internet data connection is strong, it will not be as fast or consistent as Wi-Fi connected to a DSL or Cable modem in most cases.
2. You don't have a cell signal, but you are at a house with a landline internet connection and Wi-Fi.
3. You want to network (over Wi-Fi) with a device on the WLAN.
4. Your cellular radio fails or the network has an outage.
5. You are on a plane where they offer Wi-Fi internet in flight.
I mean, if a lot of people are asking for it, and you don't get why... you should ask yourself, could it be that I am the ignorant one?

Sean, all of that is good but does the phone have WiFi? I'm not with Verizon but that would be a great step in the right direction.

There are good reasons to have Wi-Fi:
1. Fast internet, even if the cellular internet data connection is strong, it will not be as fast or consistent as Wi-Fi connected to a DSL or Cable modem in most cases.
2. You don't have a cell signal, but you are at a house with a landline internet connection and Wi-Fi.
3. You want to network (over Wi-Fi) with a device on the WLAN.
4. Your cellular radio fails or the network has an outage.
