Verizon must have cranked up their data plan requirements.  I had a MotoQ
without a data plan for a couple years with no problems from the sales
people, but do remember the Samsung model as another option if you want to
go with accessible phones.  I found the HTC Ozone keyboard rather cramped,
but I do have monkey fingers.  Also, the Android phones are still slow in
developing accessibility but are nothing to sneeze at.  I've been keeping up
with their evolution and find it promising.

Could you contact me off list? I have Verizon Wireless and my 
current phone is about to go. I want to get the most accessible 
one they carry. 
Thanks.
