Palm Centro.

The way you worded your question makes it the obvious choice.  There have
been 1 million Centro's sold in the last 6 months.  They are extremely
reliable and are designed for people who want to do exactly what you stated.

They are currently free from Amazon with AT&T:

If you need longer range (for offshore or more remote areas), you'll need an
amp.
