Best PPC Phone for Slingbox?

[zoofer]

I am finally finishing up a three-year+ contract with Verizon with my beloved Moto E185 and my wife's not-so-loved LG Chocolate. Now we both want smartphones that will be Slingbox capable. I'm getting dizzy looking for a wi-fi enabled phone with a high geek value for myself and one that's relatively simple to use for my wife.

(Network-wise, there's no T-Mobile here, but both Sprint and Verizon have broadband available. US Cellular supposedly has 3G coming early next year, and AT&T will likely have their 3G available by the end of 2009.)

So, if you are successfully using Slingplayer on your PPC phone, which phone are you using and what network are you using it on? And how's your overall Slingbox experience - especially if you're on a non-broadband network?

Thanks a million!

using any network that is not high speed is going to be worthless. its like watching a movie online with dial up internet. so low speed 3g is out of the question. verizon and sprint both have the same speed EVDO network, so speed is not a factor between either one of them. but in my opinion the best PDA available right now is the non-crippled touch pro from sprint. same price as verizons version but with a higher processor clock and more ram (as far as i know with the current version available), plus sprints plans are less expensive compared to verizons new plans (unless you have an old plan from verizon) so there ya go, hope this helps.
