iSync compatible phones?

I am thinking of buying Sprint PCS (to get away from huge over usage
charges on a Cingular family plan), but how will I move the addresses?
The Cingular phone is a V180 that syncs to a Mac Mini using iSync over
a mini USB cable. The last time I changed phones, the Kiosk guy that
sold the phone did nothing about the address book, another store made
an attempt that had pretty poor results, so I wound up using iSync,
which works well enough.

Looking through the list of Sprint phones, I didn't see a reasonably
priced phone that is also on Apple's iSync list. I like the CDM-120,
but not if there is no way to transfer the address book (including
info like home/work/cell labels) from the V180.

Anyone know how to do this? It doesn't have to be iSync, I have
Windows XP and Linux machines also. I would like the price to be
the same ($0) as iSync.

I used the OPP Bluetooth protocol to transfer contacts from Address Book
to a Sanyo Katana phone. I have never used iSync and don't think that
Sprint and/or their phone manufactures do much to support it either.

Treo's sync to Linux, but you are looking for cheap and the Treo 700p is
Sprint's most expensive phone so it's probably not what you want.
