I have one! Its a motorola a925.

Does everything you state... couple of problems though.
Battery life on standby approx 24 hrs. Using features depending on which one you use causes rapid battery consumption ie calling time 2.4 hours.

good little toy.. shame its locked on to 3.

The XDA will do it, but they are rubbish. We use them at work and nobody can stand them as the battery life is awful, call quality is bad and they crash all the time.

Other than that, they are great.

I recommend the Motorola A1000. It does everything you list, plus a few more features too.

Decent PDA and video phone in one.

They are on the Three network only in the UK, but you can unlock them if you wish to use them on other networks and they are also available on Ebay.

(I may be selling mine as I am coming to the end of my contract next month and ready for an upgrade )

My mate just got the new XDAII. It's the black one (there are 4 types I think, his is the top one) with slide out keyboard and wireless networking. Excellent PDA phone.

Ta time to start shopping around I think,

That is the o2 xdaIIs. The better in my opinion of the XDA2 range.

The XDA Exec range should be out end of this week, start of next. This is very good (even has 3G) however it is a bit bulkier than say a IPAC or a like.
