I've had several Blackberries, none of which have worked with Linux. I
tested a Treo 600 a while back, and had no issues with it. Of course,
stay away from the new 700W!!

I now have a Nokia 6620, and with some third party software, email,
contact and calendar syncing work well with Evolution. I can also
transfer files back and forth using bluetooth, and can mount the file
system on the phone using NFS.
