</div>Once again, I'm pretty happy, but I use primarily Macs these days and<br>
subscribe to MobileMe (nee .Mac nee iTools) so I have the nice desktop<br>
clients (iCal, Address Book), plus the web service plus the phone push<br>
integration so it works for me. If running a Mac is a non-starter for<br>
you, then I'm guessing an iPhone might not be ideal, though there must<br>
be something you can sync to on the PC side, since they sell a lot to<br>
windows folk. (probably Outlook since it has exchange support). If<br>
you're Linux only, I'm not sure what you'd use these days on the<br>
desktop side of this.<br>
<br>
Also, I'm primarily urban in my usage patterns, so AT&T service isn't<br>
too bad - if I had to go out to smaller towns and rural areas more the<br>
coverage wouldn't be nearly good enough. I moved from US Cellular<br>
several years ago because I just couldn't get a phone from them that<br>
even had Bluetooth. There's only been a time or 2 that the move has<br>
caused me to not have service where I wanted it (and it usually<br>
cleared up soon enough).<br>
<br>
The good news is there are some pretty cool phones out there covering<br>
a wide variety of usage patterns. Good luck finding the right one for<br>
you.<br>
