Mobile Accessibility runs on the Symbian OS, which is only implemented on GSM networks. Therefore, you won't get anything out of Verizon Wireless, which is a CDMA carrier. The Nokia 3650 we have at AFB is on the AT&T network, though it could also be on Cingular. In other words, you need to look at a GSM carrier if you want Mobile Accessibility. As the cat is out of the bag, let me point out that the Audiovox/Toshiba 9900 is supposed to be out with a few accessibility features built in. It's a CDMA phone which should be available any day from Sprint, I think, and could be carried by VW as well, I suppose, though I have no special knowledge of that.
