capabilities afaik.

I use Verizon, and have found the coverage weak in some places, but I rarely have no signal at all. I have not tried their data plan, so I don't know how good they would be for your needs. My girlfriend has a data plan with AT&T, and she finds it good enough to regularly use Opera on her phone.
I plan to get a Nokia n810, and use the internet through my phone via bluetooth. I'm not willing to use a Blackberry form-factor keyboard with ssh. Also, the n810 is so darned cool!
I just need to get a charger for mine, since without a charger it's pretty much just a pretty sleek paperweight.

I've been using a Palm Treo for some time. It, however, doesn't really
fit my needs well. What I really need is a good SSH client. (I have a
client for the Treo that loudly proclaims how insecure it probably is.)
I, too, am interested in a decent Linux based phone, preferably with
Sprint as a carrier as I regularly go somewhere without coverage for
anyone else. (Anyone else that goes there gets zero bars. If you have
Sprint, you have full bars.)
I currently have an AT&T plan. I can tell you without a doubt that the
coverage is spotty in Bloomington, and some of the surrounding areas get
no coverage at times. T-mobile coverage is also quite spotty locally.
