What do you expect to be able to do from the phone?  They would all work 
  for imap email if you have a public address.  There are palm ssh and 
vnc programs that should run on the Centro.  The Instinct can run some 
java apps but so far there's no ssh that works with the on-screen 
keyboard.       It has a windows-only multimedia manager, but you can 
access it as a USB storarge device (or put the micro-SD card in a usb 
adapter) and access the media/music/images folders directly. I haven't 
tried bluetooth access from Linux but that should work too and would 
transfer contacts if you can manage them as vcards.  I'd call the 
instinct more of an entertainment phone than a smartphone but it does 
email reasonably well if you can get by with just seeing the most recent 
25-100 messages in your inbox.  I think you can only sync the calendar 
with exchange or outlook (I used to have a treo and now have an 
instinct...).
