Only problem is ... You've got to get some phone.  So what's it going to be?
Pick your evil...

Android sold by AT&T or T-Mobile, bastardized.
iPhone evil from the start.
Win Mobile surprisingly less evil, but also bastardized and unreliable.

You could get the nexus one.  It's good.  But you'll have to pay the full
price upfront.

Blackberry.  Palm.  The same as far as I'm concerned.  Very very limited
apps.
