I'll second the Treo. I've had four treos (270 x 3) and now a 650.
There has always been great support for Linux with Palm products. I
can use Bluetooth and much more. The interface is, imho, much better
than blackberry; I tried a blackberry for a week and disliked the
interface so much I decided to go back to the Treo. Palm has a much
better hardware interface, and the software is built around the
hardware. For this reason I would never recommend the 700 since
Windows is not meant to run on a tiny screen like on a Treo. I'll
leave it up for debate whether Windows is right for even a desktop
computer. And, throw in the fact that you can run a SSH client on
your Treo for emergency shell access to your servers, and I'll never
leave the Treo fold.
