My idea is this: It would be really convenient if i could buy a smartphone with an integrated mobile hotspot so i dont have to carry around a separate device. So is this sold? if so, by whom and approximately how expensive can this get? (assume carrier is irrelevant, i can easily switch to another if Verizon doesn't work)

I'd say most of the Android phone support this out of the box. You can also buy MiFi device if you want. – roxan Oct 16 '12 at 6:02

Some SmartPhones like the Samsung Galaxy S2 lets you create a Wi-Fi hotspot. Unfortunately, this would decrease the phone's battery life, which is why having a separate device would be better option.

The Motorolo Droid Bionic also supports a hotspot mode. Don't even think about it if the phone isn't on the charger... – TomG Oct 16 '12 at 1:46

This feature is called WiFI Tethering, it comes with most modern Android devices. You can read more about it on your wifi-tether tag.
