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.

I'm trying 2 find regular wifi, not bluetooth. thanks anyway.

Does it offer regular wifi? (not bluetooth)

wait, does it offer regular wlan (wifi)?

Umm... off the top of my head:

UTStarcom XV-6700 or PPC-6700 (also has Bluetooth)
http://www.xv6700.com

Treo 700w with Wi-Fi adapter:

Nokia 9300i

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 http://tools.netgear.com/skype/ available but
they are wifi only.

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

GSM

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.
