Seeking advice: mobile phone for the frequent-flyer

Hi All,

I'm shopping for a new mobile phone with features useful for the frequent-flyer, namely:
- quad-band GSM: so it can be used almost everywhere.
- full qwerty keyboard, slider type: useful for taking notes on the go. I don't like the on-screen "soft" keyboard or the arched blackberry type.
- proper browser: useful for online check-ins & webmail. needs to support HTML, SSL, cookies etc.
- wifi: connect to hotel/airport internet
- decent camera: 5MP or more + flash.
- easily connects to a PC: bluetooth & USB file transfer.

I'm not planning to run office-like applications so I don't need a full "smartphone" just something with easy connectivity to the internet and a pc, and with a proper keyboard.

Would appreciate advice on which models to consider.

TIA,
Mike.
