WLAN phone

I'm trying to find a mobile phone to purchase with wlan/wifi. i heard that there were motorola razrs that had wlan but i couldn't find one after hours of search. I would like a razr or similar phone. some features i'm looking for are:

mp3 player camera computer connectivity

my girlfriend has a samsung that has features very similar, i'm not sure if it has wlan tho. I do not want to purchase a blackberry because they are too big to carry around, too expensive, and have some reliability issues.

any help will be appriciated

I might be wrong but I think the BT Fusion in the UK (which uses V3i) uses bluetooth for the LAN connection.

Umm... off the top of my head:

UTStarcom XV-6700 or PPC-6700 (also has Bluetooth)

There are probably others.

"Computer connectivity" is a bit vague. I can't tell if that means using the cell phone as a modem (tethered access), or just transfering photos from the camera to the computah. Clarify please.

Note that some features normally found in these phones are turned off by some vendors:

What service provider? What mode (GSM or CDMA)?

No I believe it uses a special bluetooth based adaptor/hub to connect to the home wired LAN. It might also be hard coded to only work with the BT VOIP service.

There are devices like this

available but they are wifi only.

Otherwise I guess you can make one using the right combination of PDA and a cards

Get yourself a PocketPC phone. A lot of brands and models are available in the market right now. They are bigger than Razr and I don't think there is a flip one availalble but they sure have WLAN (most at 11B), Bluetooth, some have GPS (or at least a GPS option), etc.
