N75 vs. LG Shine vs. SE z750a vs. Z9

I'm having trouble picking a new phone on AT&T. I live in the Washington DC metro area. I currently have a Motorola RAZR, which has the following features I care about:

International GSM capability
Predictive text input (I do a lot of text messaging)
Camera (I really wish I had a better camera...)
Bluetooth
iSync compatibility
Full web browser (I installed Opera Mini)
Gmail
Good phone functionality
Decently loud ringtones and message tones
Decent vibration

The two things I'd really like to get with a new phone are a better camera and faster web browsing. I don't care at all about music, but I probably would take advantage of the extra functionality of the N75's Symbian OS. I've previously had Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones which I liked; the Motorola's user interface still gets to me sometimes, and I've never had an LG.

I'm a little frustrated because of the four phones that seem like they might meet my needs, only the Nokia is compatible with iSync. It seems likely that the Motorola Z9 and the Sony Ericsson z750a might be compatible in the future, given Apple's past track record with those manufacturers, but I feel like I'd be totally out of luck with the LG Shine.

Also, it looks to me like the LG Shine has the best camera of the phones currently available from AT&T, but I'm not sure it's really sufficiently better than the N75's to be worth sacrificing other features that matter to me.

I'd really appreciate some insight on this dilemma. Which of these do you think is the best as a phone? As a web browser? Do any of them have a camera that produces pictures you're not embarrassed to share with your friends?

Thanks!

Just to update this thread, after dithering about this new phone question for a couple of months, I ordered the Nokia N75 last night.

Maybe someday I'll be able to get a phone with a camera I genuinely like, but in the mean time, I'm sure the N75 will be an improvement over my current phone.

If it's a AT&T branded phone the first thing you need to do is, find how to debrand it, other wise the phone will freeze up 2-3 times a day.
