New Phone
I bought the new Audiovox SMT 5600. In fact, I bought two. One for my wife, and one for me.
I've been waiting for so long for the right 'phone to come along - a few years ago I got one of the first 'phones with a colour screen, but was disappointed and then I decided to just settle with it.
The Audiovox changed all that.
It has been incredibly popular internally here at Microsoft, and I'm sure you've seen Scoble rave about it. It just works. It does everything right.
The only thing is that I'd been really happy with Verizon as my carrier - the coverage, as they say, is just amazing. When I was in Montana earlier this year fishing with my buddies, I was the only one that had any coverage. But, unfortunately, they'd always been lagging with the new 'phone tech. So on Friday I switched to AT&T (the day before their accounting switch over to Cingular). The phone number port worked perfectly.
Now I just have to produce a Smartphone friendly front-end to my website...
I can't say enough good things about this 'phone. Go buy one.

I've got one here in France too, it's called C500 and works like a charm :-)
You should definitely try to code some stuff on it with the smartphone SDK and the compact framework, it's really nice to have your own programs on your phone :-)
Also, it's really fun to place breakpoint in VS on a program running over bluetooth ! hehe
Happy Landings,
Matt
Good to see a fellow borg servant. I saw your link on Scoble...
Anyway, I just ordered an mpx220 today for similar reasons. I looked at the Audiovox but I liked the mpx220 better except for the mpx220's larger screen.
Hopefully, some industrious code geek makes uses the sdk to make a nice .net blog client for one of the common apis. :-)
