The Perfect Device?

[Updated: 11/28/2006]
A post over at www.theunwired.net got me thinking on what would be the perfect device:
--
Here it is:
Connectivity:
Quadband GSM/EDGE/GPRS & UMTS [HSDPA if possible]
WiFi 802.11b or higher
Bluetooth w/ A2DP
miniUSB 5 pin [USB 2.0 atleast]
3.5mm audio jack [2.5mm acceptable]
--
OS/UI/Navigation/Screen:
WindowsMobile 5 for PocketPC Phone Ed [atleast AKU 3]
QWERTY [w/ backlight of course]
Touchscreen Input
QVGA [minimum]
Screen size [atleast 2.5 inches nothing smaller]
--
Memory/Expansion/Processor/Battery Power:
Hot Swappable [doesn't matter what format as long as it is not one of SONY's]
64Mb RAM/128Mb ROM [minimum, MORE would be better]
Minimum 400Mhz [more is better no TI OMAP's unless they are over 200mhz]
The Battery should atleast last 2 days [minimum of 1 day].
--
Weight/Size/Volume/Form Factor/Look:
Smaller/Lighter the better but not really an issue as long as I get the stuff above.
The least number of moving parts possible.
It has to look nice and professional [this of course is subjective]
--
Additional Goodies:
GPS [not really important]
Nice package [i.e. cradle included etc etc]
--
Price:
Not an issue [what are we working for anyway eh?]
----
Now owning an O2 XDA Exec [with AKU3], I could argue that almost all these things fit in to my criteria, except HSDPA, the moving parts thing, and the size/weight. So for now the O2 XDA Exec is as close as I can get, still haven't seen anything else that comes close. I am looking to complement my Exec with a smaller device maybe a WM5SP until 'my perfect device' comes out [hoping it does].

So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
