It should be either Symbian or Android.

I really want it to have either a Google Talk or a Skype client built in / easily available.

I really want it to have a good GPS/mapping solution, especially one that works without 'net access.

I really want it to support 3G on T-mobile in the US, just like the N900.

I'd like to spend about $200, new or used.

Talk to me!
Touch screen devices are not for eveyone and somewhat time consuming to get used to. I recommend the Nokia N95. Unfortunately it works with ATT 3G and have to settle for 2.5G on TMobile. I ve owned this phone for 3+ yrs and find it extremely versatil and full or features. They go for around $150-$200. The best thing I like about it is that it always works, always. No bugs, no freezing, hang up or flaws. Menus open extremely fast, speaker sound is estremely loaud and clear for phone op as well as media. Using Skyfire you can open all and any web page and still get the flash files. I own the N900 but for everyday use I still use my N95. Dont get the N95 8Gb due to limited memory. The N95 has Sd slot and with 16gig ro 32 gig it ll be more than enough. It also has Word, Power point and Excel viewer and Adobe built-in. Software selection is also good for this device. I use my N95 with joiku as WiFi modem and get decent speed on my Laptop. Good Luck
