I run teddy_bear's Tomato ND USB Mod firmware on my WL-520gU. Teddy_bear keeps it up to date with the latest fixes and frequently enhances it with additional features.
As a Tomato-derived firmware, it inherits great QoS abilities which I make great use of. I don't use the NAS feature of the firmware as I have a Bubba|Two. I've found the WL-520gU's wireless coverage to be superior to my old WRT-54GS; I do miss the additional memory of the WRT-54GS however.
Well, I brought a WRT-600n and got worse coverage that with the older WRT-54GS I had been using; totally unimpressed. I now run with an Asus WL-520gu using Tomato firmware, very nice.
My BlackBerry 8900 made my bedside clock obsolete with the addition of the charging pod and my Canon Powershot and Sony camcorder with the 8900's built-in camera.
The 8900's built-in maps app is decent but I still prefer my Magellan GPS, for the moment.
Yeah, I got my Bubba|Two about a month ago to replace a Dell PowerEdge server I used mainly as an SAMBA/OpenVPN/SSH/BT server. I plan on getting an external drive to backup to soon; right now I sync to another PC-attached external drive over the network.
I'm very pleased with my Bubba server. I do look forward to an OS update to Debian "lenny". I also would like to see Excito add NFS and OpenVPN support to the web interface.
I moved to T-Mobile from VZW to get a BlackBerry 8900 and I'm very pleased with the phone (my first smartphone) and the lower prices on T-Mobile. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about charging mid-day and can go two days easy w/o charging. The phone have good Google support with BB-specific programs for syncing, Gmail, Search, GTalk, GVoice, etc.
The BB may not be shiny and flashy like a iphone but it is a solid communications device with great third-party support.
The fact of the matter is that Linux is not designed to be an embedded OS...
Quite! My linux infused router (Asus WL-520gU running Tomato F/W) saw that packet and refuses to route any more traffic from you. I hope my Bubba server and TiVo doesn't catch wind of your comment.
I also recommend the Asus WL-520gU. I've loaded mine with teddy_bear's Tomato derivative and it rocks! The QoS support is superb and the firmware has a clean and simple interface.
If you really want the system to change, everyone needs to stop buying music, going to movies, renting videos, watching television, etc. for at least a year. This would not be all that hard to do and the entertainment industry would be forced to reevaluate the business models.
The revolution would not be televised because no one will be watching.

Overall, highly recommended combination.
I got the WRT-600n since it is a true dual-band router that can run DD-WRT.

Another worthy option is an ASUS WL-520gU flashed with Teddy_Bear's wonderful Tomato ND USB Mod. Plug a USB drive in and Bob's your Uncle!
With built-in SAMBA/FTP/Print services, rock solid QoS support and many more features this combo is solid.

Check out the Bubba|Two Server. Its a PowerPC-based NAS running Debian Etch with with 2 x 1Gb ethernet ports, 2 x USB and 2 x eSATA ports.
I would look at a BlackBerry Tour on VZW.

I use ext2 on my USB flash thumb and ext3 on my portable HD along with http://www.fs-driver.org/ for mu WinXP work machine.
Hey, new iPhone, meet my BlackBerry Curve 8900.
I've had great success with the RCA ANT1050 Digital Flat Passive Ultra Slim Profile (Dipole) Antenna. http://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT1050-Digital-Enhanced-Reception/dp/B001GGAIGI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1234722166&sr=8-1
