Smartphones that run linux


I was wondering if there are any smartphones on the market right now that can run linux with few/no problems. I was looking into phones from Cingular,T-Mobile, and Verizon.

I found a really nice iPaq at the Cingular store. (Can't remember model)

Has anyone had anyproblems with the iPaq running linux?

I really wanna get away from microsoft as much as I can. And I hate how I HAVE to use IE for internet browsing on a Smart Phone.

I don't really have much of a budget.

I'm a 14 year old. I'm planning to get a job to save up for this phone over the summer. I am thinking about the Apple Store. So I'm probably gonna go with a prepaid plan. I got into a bit of trouble with my parents over my previous bill. Hence, they took my phone away.

Have you looked into installing Opera instead of IE?

Its worth investigating. I know the ideal is to use Linux and leave MS but sometime small steps!
