I would take the iphone and do the following modifcations:

1) include removable batteries
2) allow 3rd party apps
3) include a GPS
4) include a high end digital camera (6 + megapixels with 3x + optical zoom)

I could get rid of my cell phone, my ipod, my GPS, and my digital camera and have it all in one package. And if it made the iphone a little thicker, i sure as hell wouldn't mind. That would so freaking rock :D

Basically, I'd take my Blackberry 8800...

Add a more ergonomic keyboard, a oil/smudge repellent screen, and side scroll wheel, a 5 mp camera with optional flash, flash and mpg support, and 1 gig internal memory.

I'm kind of stuck now. I'm looking to get an mp3 player and a new phone (Verizon). I was thinking about the XV6800 and a iPod nano but now I might get a iPod Touch and a non fancy cell. I'd be all over the iPhone if it worked with Verizon...

An iPhone with 32GB solid state memory, a higher-speed connection, any added features that are in the iPod Touch but not the current iPhone, and availability for Verizon and Sprint.
For no more than $399.

I'd wait for Google phone, it will have all these features out of the box.

If you enjoy having ads and google tracking all your searches.

I'll trade your #4 for an expansion slot, and call it a day. I use a standalone GPS receiver, and
find myself needing it pretty often. If the iPhone added just good GPS functionality I would probably bite the bullet.
