Which phone is for me?

I would appreciate if you guys could help me out.

I am looking for a new cellphone.

Price is not really an issue. I wouldn't mind buying an unlocked phone and getting a plan afterwards.

I can only go with phones that work with Sprint or Cingular. T-mobile would also be good, but isn't ideal. (Not Verizon - doesn't let many bluetooth connections that I would otherwise make, e.g. sending pictures to my computer). I would prefer Cingular because it works with sim cards - easy to travel (not that I travel often!)

Battery life is important. I currenly use a SE z520 and am very satisfied with the battery life. I know most phoned won't be as good, but I can't go with phones that die after an hour or two of talk.

I need bluetooth - don't need support for stereo headphones.

I don't need any music features.

I don't need fast data transfer rates.

I need a camera. 1.3mp is better than VGA.

I am quite happy with the size of my z520. Something a bit bigger or heavier would also be fine. Not too big.

A flip phone is ideal. A bar or slider would also be good.

Not having an antenna sticking out of it would also be a plus.

Speakerphone is a must.

Voice dialing is nice.

IMPORTANT - does not have to be stylish/cool, but it must be designed well. No design flaws or glitches. (I realize all phones have some, but not too many!). I.e. I once had a phone that when in area with no service, every two minutes searched for service and turned on the LCD - using up the battery even quicker. Very stupid!

Thanks all, I appreciate any help!
 
Thanks for all the replies! When I saw all the replies I got I at first thought, no way, I don't have time to read them all.

But, I got through them. They were wonderful. Keep it up everyone!
 
Cingular 3125, se z525a (with PTT), se w810i... for Cingular.

Sanyo 8400, LG Fusic, Samsung A900M... for Sprint.

Unlocked, of course to use for Cingular:

Samsung D900 (personal fav), LG KG810 (don't know why, but I like it.), Samsung x820 (world's slimmest phone, disclaimer: at the moment.)
 
SEs don't have a good speakerphone sys. Although they have one, it's rather a hassle to use. You said Sprint is an option, which means that you live in the US. You've also indicated that you wanted to do a LITTLE bit of travelling and might want to change SIMs. You'll probably then want a Quad band phone. And since you like flip phones........I'd suggest a Razr.
