If you have a router, you can access the internet via Wi Fi at home. But to have internet access when you are away from home and have no Wi-Fi access, you do need a data package.
All PDAs, Smartphones, and Blackberry phones require a data package of $29.99 or more. The Samsung Rogue and LG EnV Touch also require a subscription to a $9.99 or $19.99 data package or they can be put on a Connect or Premium plan.
the LG Fathom does require a data package.

Yes it does because it is a smartphone. All Verizon smartphones require a data plan
Yes. All smartphones on the Verizon Wireless network such as the Droid X currently require a monthly data plan
It does not require one. You can always get it though. With Verizon, it's around $30 a month. Only smartphones and Blackberrys require a data plan.
It depends on how your nTelos account is set up. If your aircard is shared with your cell phone service then yes the data would be free (with exception of smartphones those require the 29.99 smartphone data package). If it is not shared, for instance if you have an unlimited plan the aircard cannot be shared, you would have to pay extra for the data package.
Like all recent smartphones the HTC Surround will need a data package. The price and the amount of GBs needed is up to what you, personally, will need and what you will use.
You do not need a dat package or plan to use the Pantech Laser. It is a quick messaging phone which doesnt require a data plan. So no.
