I switched to Sprint from Verizon for no real reason other than I wanted the rebate on a Treo 600. I installed the open source ssh program "pssh" and I can connect to my Linux machines without problems from the phone. I do have some complaints, such as pssh doesn't support ssh keys, my screen is only 160x160 (the Treo 650 came out right after I bought the 600, 320x320 screen, doh!), and the keystrokes can get a big laggy, but it is better than nothing. I've used the Treo as my main "computer" for a while when on the road without a laptop. Painful, but like I said, better than nothing. SprintPCS is $15/mo for unlimited data (no voice).
