1. iPhone 3G - all around winner. The operating system and app store are totally unique (and superior in my opinion).
2. Nokia E71 - runner-up to iPhone with similar functionality + QWERTY keyboard, but more expensive ($380 unlocked on eBay)
3. Blackberry Curve - good for email, texting, but crappy web browser. You could get the Blackberry Bold for $280 on Amazon.com if you extend your AT&T contract. The Bold has gotten great reviews.
4. Unlocked G1 - These are going for $330 on eBay.
5. Sony Ericsson W760a - Walkman phone. Smaller, cheaper, good design.
Phones to avoid...
1. LG Vu - It's expensive and I really dislike the operating system.
2. Samsung Eternity a867 - The Amazon.com reviews suggest that the operating system freezes while doing even basic activities (like texting or answering a call)

If you are not eligible for an upgrade, most new fancy phones will be out of your budget.
Your best bet is to go to your closest cellular store and play around with the phones and see what you like.

Re: One more year... heh. Well then I suggest you purchase a phone secondhand. The new phones available are capable of so much! But new they are way too expensive. An iPhone bought secondhand will retain it's original warranty, and Apple is extremely happy to help with any problems with their products. Just make sure the phone is still covered by checking the purchase date.
Re ppalmer21: Yes, you can buy an iPhone if you are not eligible. No, it is not in his budget. A new iPhone without a plan in the US is not at $300... yet.

I'm eligible for an upgrade in 2010 (just signed a new service contract, sucks).
No AT&T store around, plus all the phones at Wal-mart (where I checked) are CRAZY expensive (I live in a small town, they charge whatever they want).
I think iPhone can be bought whether you are eligible or not. I could be wrong since I have the original iPhone. There is no phone that can beat the iPhone. (I asked earlier this week.) It is in your price range, and can be purchased online: http://www.apple.com/iphone/buy/

But if you don't want the iPhone wait for the Blackberry Curve 8900 to come out (it's already out in Canada and some parts of Europe and it'll be out in the USA in about a month). It has a keyboard so you can easily email your work and friends.

I am super fickle when it comes to cell phones. The predictive text for texting with 2 letters per key is incredible, and actually got me used to predictive text which was an absolute mystery for me in the past.
the trackball is the other feature I love on the phone. It's so much easier to get around on the phone than using a key pad.
Sound quality has been great. Connects to my bluetooth headset perfectly.
The odd thing with me, is that I don't use it with the blackberry service either, which if you get that you will be plugged in to some other great features.
The ONE downside with it is the locked mode, when you come out of it there's an option to call emergency service. I'm sure this is some requirement so if it's locked you can still get help fast. Only issue is that my kids get it and play with it, and they've called 911 a couple times. Well twice in the past year or so.
Absolutely love it though. Good luck!
