[CoLoCo] [off topic] open or linux friendly smart phone

Until open moko, android or something becomes a reality, are there any good
option for a Linux loving guy who can't keep track of appointments? It seems
blackberry and other such toys only talk with windows computers and are
expensive to boot. I don't use a cell phone much so I will just buy
something at retail and then use a pre-paid plan with it so no free phones
and no contracts either. It wouldn't have to sync with a computer because I
don't expect I'd use that function much anyway but I hate buying anything
that supports the concept that windows is THE os. Something less than $200
would be ideal - preferably a lot less.

I've been all over Amazon and the T-mobile site and I'm not finding a good
option - plus never having used a PDA I'm not even sure what I'm looking
for.

Thanks for any free advice :).
