What are your experiences with these? Which are good, which are bad? How much should I expect to spend?

Personally we use the APC PDU units, 9229 I think they are, the vertical mount ones at any rate. Not had any problems with any so far, have come in handy more times than I can count now.

Ive only used them (never setup/bought them), but it was a great service because I didnt have to wait on the DC for a reboot (10 minute response time wasnt bad, but instant is better :) )

I love them, being able to reset the server when you need it right away is great. If you have a cell phone and multiple other servers you can have then check your servers every 5 minutes then text msg you if they ever go down, if they do you call and reset it. Great for when you cannot have the server down for long :)

You can't login to the Reboot Switch via your phone though, correct?

How much should I pay for these things? And what are some places with good prices?

We can from the P800s we've got :) Full web browser and GPRS, makes a very handle little tool in the middle of the night if something goes wrong :)
