I am a Cingular customer in Los Angeles and I'm looking to upgrade my phone. I currently have a SE s710a (had it for over a year) and I've been really happy with the phone. But, it's starting to drop calls and do weird things (not ring and then show that I have voicemail, not turn back on after turning it off, etc.), so I'd like to upgrade. My contract with Cingular is done, but I'm planning on staying with them unless someone can give me a good reason to leave them. I was considering getting a Samsung D900, but now I'm hearing that the reception might not be too good. So, I need to get a new phone, and the features that are most important to me are, in order:

1. Reception (locally and nationwide/worldwide)
2. Call Quality
3. Bluetooth
4. Ability to use MP3 as ringtone
5. Data capability
6. Camera
.
.
.
9999999999999. Walkman/MP3 Player (I already have an iPod)

So, any suggestions people may have would be helpful. I really like SE, but I'm not crazy about the large size of their phones. I really don't like Motorola (bad GUI, bad reception, bad call quality, lots of dropped calls, etc.). Other than that, I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks for your help.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that I would like the phone to be quad band. But, it's not an absolute requirement. If the best phone is only tri-band, then so be it. Thanks again everyone.
