You will essentially have an iPod Touch. It will work, but the Sprint WiFi device has about 2 hours battery life. If this is acceptable go for it.

You won't get 4G speeds since the 3G isn't designed for that. You'd have a glorified iPod Touch that could only run Vonage ALL the time if you wanted to receive calls. You won't be able to browse the web, answer email, use apps, etc.

Why not? I'm able to do all these things through my Wifi @ home, work, or any other hotspot.

If you have the Vonage app open to receive calls you cannot run any other apps. The iPhone cannot multitask.

Lawrence beat me to it - no multitasking.
