Default Which Treo is best for me

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum but not new to Palm.
I currently have a Palm T/X and absolute love it. I like all the Palm software, its easy to hot synch, and the WIFI is great. Only problem is no phone, so I am considering purchasing a used Treo.
My current wireless plan with verizon includes in addition to a voice plan their VCAST. I like VCAST because it's relatively cheap ($15/mo), allows me to access the web on my motorola phone but with such a small screen it has limited use. Verizon's data plan that can be used on a Treo is somewhat expensive for a non business user like me.
So I would love a Treo because of the phone and pda capabilities, but does any treo have WIFI? It's also my understanding none of the Treo's has VCAST capability. So can anyone make a suggestion? VCAST, WIFI and palms operating system in one unit. Does it exist??

Hi:

I don't know about VCAST, but the Treos do not have WiFi. There was an add-on called an Enfora Sled, which was compatible with the Treo 600 and 650.

I don't even know if it is still available. It also added bulk to the Treo, but if you wanted WiFi it was the only way.

You can access VCAST from the 700p (and the 755p, should Verizon ever release it). The question is, why would you want to? Like Verizon's data plans, it's over-priced. You'd be better off buying pTunes and grabbing music from another service, or ripping your own CDs.
