Cells w/ GPS, Internet, T.V. & Music* some w/touchscreens

I am looking at a few choices of cell phones with the features listed above.

I watched an ad for a Sprint, simply everything, plan and I wanted more info.
So I found some reviews about this type of phone and there are only a couple (that I know of) that have most of the items listed.

Examples: (Not all have t.v./gps/bluetooth etc..)

Samsung Instinct(Sprint), the Apple Iphone(AT&T) & the Sidekick(TMobile). LG Vu (also At&t) LG Dare (Verizon Wireless) Treo 700p & the Blackberry. Not sure which have all the features listed above.

There are some other phones called EnV2, Voyager & Glyde but I haven't checked them out yet.

some pros & cons

My findings-
Samsung Instinct pros - internet/gps/live t.v./music* comes with an extra battery (I read you'll have an issue opening the case, althought they make it look easy on their website)
con - no wifi (which could be beneficial when picking up a signal is difficult)

Iphone pros - wifi access, looks like it is easier to use.
con - music available for purchase only?

Both are touchscreens

Sidekick & Blackberry pros - QWERTY keyboards



Sometimes there is such a thing as too many choices or too much information! If anyone has it all figured out, please post it here! Even if you've only researched a couple of them & would like to share your info it would be appreciated.

* (with purchase availability or online streaming?)

corrections taken

My wife just bought me the new G1 phone from T-mobile. It's a great portable device similar to the i-phone. You can watch you tube videos, has google maps installed, and a ton of other features. The only thing I'm wondering is if I can use my car charger from my T mobile DASH with this phone. They are both made by HTC but I don't know if it's safe to use it or not. Any help?

I recently bought the Dare by Verizon. It has the 3G internet, mobile web, youtube, google maps, gps, instant weather radar, can be used as a modem for your laptop, and killer digital camera with 3.2 megapixels still & video.
