Kevin:

I've had a Samsung SCH-3500 for about six months now (via Sprint), and it is 
a great phone.  I pay a flat $75 a month for 1000 minutes of local *and* 
long-distance anytime calling.  The service in the Triangle area is great, 
as well as in CA, Chicago, Seattle, and Washington, DC (the primary areas I 
travel).

Currently, the phone sells for $149, but I often see rebate deals (at Best 
Buy, for example) that'll knock another $30 off.

This phone is Web-capable, and it has a number of neat features (such as 
voice dialing; I say my wife's name, and the phone calls her!).

If you're looking for a great, all-around package, I recommend this phone 
and service plan.
