From personal experience, the HTC Trinity and the Atom are quite sweet phones. Unfortunately, they are kinda outdated at this point.

Thanks for the kind sentiment. I will check out the GSM forum. Also, if you are interested in the deal I mentioned to bitslizer above, please PM me.
I did look at the phones you mentioned and you are right, most are outdated in some respect:
HTC Trinity: WM 5, No built-in GPS, only 128 MB ROM/64 MB RAM, screen is QVGA.
O2 Atom: No GSM850 band, WM 5, No built-in GPS, only 128 MB ROM/64 MB RAM, screen is QVGA.
HTC Kaiser: Not yet available, but also is only QVGA, has the lame gpsONE that our 6700s have, and the CPU is only 384 MHz.
I loved the O2 Flame (check out the specs below!), but it doesn't have the GSM 850 band, as well as no GPS. The display system is freaking sick, though, as it has it's own Nvidia GPU on-board:

Anyway, the lack of GSM 850 is a deal killer for me, so it looks like it's down to the Glofiish X800 (or maybe X500+) and the Imate Ultimate 7150.
Here's the site that turned me on to all the phones we
