I'm up for a cell phone contract renewal and am considering upgrading my handset. I looked at some devices at my local AT&T store but nothing really jumped out at me. I'm particularly interested in a cell phone that has a reliable ssh client, with ssh-agent and public key authentication abilities. Those of you who administer systems remotely, what mobile ssh client do you recommend? What phone would you recommend?

I use ConnectBot (http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/) on Android (I have a T-Mobile G1). I absolutely recommend it. I have used it several times in emergency situations.

Looks cool, if I wasn't stuck with AT&T I would consider getting a G1. Perhaps Samsung will come out with their Android phone soon!
The iphone runs UNIX natively underneath, so if you jailbreak it you get access to a full openssh install as well as a bash shell. There are also ssh terminal apps available from the Apple App store, though I have not used them so I cannot comment.
Rumors are that Android phones are coming out soon other than the G1 (which is T-Mobile only), so maybe some of them will show up on AT&T. They run Linux under the hood, though I have no experience with them to know if you can get ssh or a terminal.

There are a few ssh client applications available for the iPhone. No need to jailbreak. I am using TouchTerm (free version) and it works for me. I have never tried others, so cannot tell if this is better or worse than others.

I have been using Putty on both my HTC Touch (Windows Mobile), and Nokia E61 (Symbian OS) with great success.

I've been waiting for iPhone OS 3.0 before trying SSH (for Bluetooth keyboard support: http://www.flickr.com/photos/56083335@N00/3335201114/ -- but hopefully with a fold-up keyboard)
But, I'll try the free version of TouchTerm in the meantime.
Thanks,
Sean

Oh, an Iphone with a bluetooth keyboard would be perfect. One of the main reasons I've stayed away from the iphone is because there's no keyboard, and the on-screen keyboard is a PITA to use.
Touchterm is nice as it can be configured to launch screen (provided your host has it installed) on connect so that if you switch away from ssh on your iphone you don't have to start completely over when you switch back.

Yes, a sucky "feature" of the iPhone seems to be that it can't run more than one app concurrently...
Threading is there, but only for apple aproved apps(mail, phone). Lets hope for looser security in 3.0

It seems the "free" version of TouchTerm is now 99 cents. I bought it and gave it a quick test drive -- it's nice. Works reasonably well with the on-screen keyboard.

If you go with a Blackberry, MidpSSH is what I use and reccomend.

Cheers,
On the iPhone there are quite a few nice ones. However I have an AJAX one with my provider
