Motorola unveils Linux cell phones

Motorola unveilled their new line of cell phones running Linux. This is great, since right now Nokia is the leader in the cell phone industry. I don't seem to like Nokia phones that much, I think the design and style of Sony Ericsson and Motorola are much better. I currently own a Sony Ericsson T68i cell phone (one of the early phones that had Bluetooth, the 2nd Ericsson phone, the 1st phone was the R520m which I actually used and played around with back when I was at Classwave).

But my T68i cell phone, as good as I like it, is dying on me, it's bigger than the other phones, and I'd like to get a flip-style phone. I'm heading over to China and HK in a few weeks, so thinking of buying a cell phone there. I like the Motorola Razr V3 and the A910.

These are my requirements for the next cell phone I want to get:

1. Bluetooth
2. GSM 900/1800/1900 and GPRS
3. MMS
4. Possibly Wi-Fi (like the A910)
5. Digital camera preferably at least 2 MP
6. Flip phone (judging how many times I've accidentally pressed the buttons on a non-flip phone and it started dialing my contacts and even connecting to the Internet without me knowing it!)
7. Decent battery life. At least I can have the phone on (without calling) in standby mode and don't have the charge the phone for maybe 2 days.

Any good phones in China and HK that I should be looking at, send them my way!
