Once again, I'm pretty happy, but I use primarily Macs these days and  
subscribe to MobileMe (nee .Mac nee iTools) so I have the nice desktop  
clients (iCal, Address Book), plus the web service plus the phone push  
integration so it works for me. If running a Mac is a non-starter for  
you, then I'm guessing an iPhone might not be ideal, though there must  
be something you can sync to on the PC side, since they sell a lot to  
windows folk. (probably Outlook since it has exchange support). If  
you're Linux only, I'm not sure what you'd use these days on the  
desktop side of this.

Also, I'm primarily urban in my usage patterns, so AT&T service isn't  
too bad - if I had to go out to smaller towns and rural areas more the  
coverage wouldn't be nearly good enough. I moved from US Cellular  
several years ago because I just couldn't get a phone from them that  
even had Bluetooth. There's only been a time or 2 that the move has  
caused me to not have service where I wanted it (and it usually  
cleared up soon enough).

The good news is there are some pretty cool phones out there covering  
a wide variety of usage patterns. Good luck finding the right one for  
you.
