I'd try a Treo600 instead, as you're much more likely to be able to get useful programming information from Palm/Handspring than from other phone manufacturers. You'll also be able to insert a memory card to hold your app and all the sound samples you'll want for the spoken menus.
It's not out yet, but will be "soon", and you can start writing code today....
Or rather, try this general advice - try to get developer information for a bunch of handsets. See which one gives you the most. Make sure you can do what you want (e.g. dial, which I don't think you can from java phones due to the security model) and then go with that phone.
This is just silly. Read-only access to source doesn't demonstrate the lack of backdoors. Even if they *could* compile, that still wouldn't protect them from this classic "Reflections on Trusting Trust" attack.
I use the Cubid 2677 and the 533MHz Via Eden CPU for quiet, too.
To answer the previous poster's gripe about non-standard replacement PSU's - the case and the power brick cost the same or less than a nice quiet Zalman or EnerMax power supply, so buy a spare and keep it around.
You can also use a tiny LinkSys USB100M dongle if you track down the rtl8150 drivers and get them in your kernel.
See http://www.spack.org/index.cgi/LinksysUSB100MLinux for driver info. The usb device will come up as eth0, and the built-in ethernet on the motherboard as eth1.
why not give the money to the EFF instead

It's $64.95 list and $79.99 for the collector's edition.
Head to http://www.eff.org and give them the money, then send a letter to Blizzard telling them about it, and why.
I liked Diablo II, but I don't like what their lawyers are doing. I figured I would spend $50 or so buying the game. Instead I'm going to give that to the EFF and spend more time outside hiking and camping this summer instead of playing, and I'll send them a letter pointing out that they've lost a customer.
Buffer overflows, printf overflows and the like are a systematic problem. Rather than trying to fix each instance (which is still a good idea), there's an additional safety net in the form of the StackGuard compiler, and the Immunix GNU/Linux distribution. It fixes the problem systematically by checking for stack smashing.
My concern is that there are (or will be, or have been already) patents filed that cover some parts of the.NET protocols. At the point at which they're granted, open source solutions aren't possible.
Worse, by going along with.NET up to that point, you'll suddenly find yourself stuck.
This is a part of a well-planned semantic attack. The recent PR from MS has gone from comments from a low-level person, to comments from Ballmer, to the recent comments by Gates. It's a planned and deliberate escalation (remember the 'grassroots' protests they tried to fake a few years back?).
Since it's their agreement, they can call it whatever they want. They're expecting publicity about this at some point, but when it happens, it will be on their terms, using (literally) their terms. The press will spit out a bunch of articles about the "Potentially Viral Software" and the term will get repeated until it lingers in the minds of the public.
I've received perhaps 50 spams from Macromedia just in the past month, all of the 'unconfirmed email address' variety. It's even more annoying when they show up in German (which I don't read well enough to understand, just recognize), since trying to figure out which url is the 'click here to unsubscribe' link is harder. Not that the unsubscribe link was actually working most of the time, mind you.
I wrote many polite letters explaining about real opt-in (using address confirmation) during the first week, then just gave up and started to really really hate them.

I really wish that Red Hat would buy them, fund them, or incorporate their changes.
