Any Android phones out there or on the horizon with the following?

I'm looking at moving to android from my TP2 as I'm sick of illogical UI quirks that plague windows mobile. That being said, I'm not sure if any of the android phones meet my requirements. I've done some research on several and find that all of them have significant shortcomings in several respects.

I need the following:

Verizon only

3.5mm headphone jack with good sound quality. No pops, hissing, or clicks with Ultimate Ears Super.fi Pro 5 IEM's.

GOOD full qwerty keyboard - something like the TP2's (I've heard the Moto Droid's is garbage)

Excellent web browsing - at least as good as Opera 9.7

Robust hardware accelerated video and music player, with a logical UI and the ability to sort videos separately from music. Ideally, I'd be able to view them as two different media types as with the iPod. This is something so simple and logical and it just blows my mind that the the TP2 sense video player can't do this

The ability to store, edit, and view Microsoft Word Documents

The ability to have multiple email accounts of mixed types (one pop3, one exchange, etc).

The ability to sort emails into folders and create client-side rules (in other words, a rule like "every time an email from xxxx@xxxx.com comes in, move to folder "Family". Need to be able to flag junk mail.

Facebook integration for contact pictures so I don't have to do it manually

Battery life - at least 12 hours of heavy usage

And most importantly, it must be significantly faster than my Touch Pro 2.


Are there any options out there for android that will meet my needs currently? It really doesn't seem like there is, which is disheartening. What about on the horizon?

Thanks, I appreciate it.
