compromise and consolidate (Score 1)

Get yourself a Nokia N95 with 8GB onboard, and a T series Thinkpad. The N95 isn't the sexiest or sleekest, but it combines most of the functions you are looking for (email, GPS, Media, light PIM and a decent camera) and quadband GSM coverage. The T Series Thinkpad is resonably thin and light without sacrificing performance. With Centrino and a 14" screen you'll have a nice light and powerful system for working 'in the field', while a docking station will allow you to use more of the power when at home. In the end niether will be perfect, but they'll do most of what you are looking for with a resonable degree of performance for weight. Just don't expect it to be Cheap. Remember, you only get two (Cheap and fast but no good, Fast and good but not cheap, or Cheap and good but not fast). Lurking for years and this is the post that I signed up for... work really is dull.
