Hello!

I'm currently running a Sony Ericsson w850, and I am planning to switch to a Smartphone/PDA phone for a couple reasons. I REALLLY need suggestions/input because I'm extremely new into the PDA/SmartPhone world and having a real hard time finding what I need.

Oh, and I am a STUDENT. So most of these things are student related.

Criteria:
1) QWERTY Keyboard.
- Text MSG a LOT.
- Planning to read/write emails
- Major calendar user. I find it too cumbersome to write in the calendar with t9. Also need some way to sync to google calendar.

2) GSM. (850 is a ++++!)
- With Rogers, and sticking with Rogers
- I am NOT planning to buy a full data plan. I MIGHT add the 2MB of data or just email use later on depending on how much I use it.

3) WIFI
- Because I'm not getting a data plan, Wifi is crucial to me. (I'm on campus with Wifi everywhere anyways)

4) Decent Media Player
- I say this because I got the w850 in the first place for it's walkman abilities. I know I'm not going to be getting anywhere close to the walkman power of the w850, but I need to be able to listen to music on this thing, decently. What i mean by decent:
- 3.5mm plug if possible
 
No one can even give me a few suggestions?

These are the phones i'm currently looking at, maybe someone can give me insight:
Nokia E61i
Blackbery 8800
HTC S620 (or s621)
 
Nokia E61i, Nokia N80, Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson P990i, all 4 have WiFi, P990 and E61i both have QWERTY, All 4 are smartphones with great PIM and great media player.

P990 have touchscreen, 2mp camera and QWERTY

Nokia E61i got the big landscape screen and comfortable d-pad and QWERTY + 2MP camera

If you don't care about QWERTY and you want the best featured packed phone and the most advance then get an N95.
 
Anyone heard of the new SE P1 release? Will they ever make these phones with tri-band umts so we can use 3G in the states?:

P1: The P1 is a new addition to the P Series smartphones and has a long list of features. It has a touchscreen display with handwriting recognition, integrated QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi and supports VoIP. It supports a number of push email clients and uses the Opera Web browser. Its 3.2 megapixel camera has autofocus and the P1 has stereo Bluetooth. With its tri-band GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 radios, it is not optimized for U.S. networks.
