GSM phone like LG vx9800 ("The V")?

I'm on T-Mobile in northern california. Want a phone with a qwerty board, mp3/aac player, decent camera (1.3mp +), removable memory card and compatability with T-Mobile's wireless internet (over GRPS/EDGE, not necessarily WiFi). Got a Benq P50 and it's too big and bulky for me, and I'm realizing I don't really need WiFi or the touchscreen ... or Windows Mobile.

Tried a friend's LG vx9800 on Verizon and liked it - the "horizontal clamshell" is a nice form factor - a little thick, but I prefer it to a phone with an overall larger footprint like the Benq or Treo.

Only similar GSM phone I can find is the old Moto A630, but it has a lousy camera, small screen, no removable memory card, etc.

Can anyone recommend a GSM phone like this? Nokia E70 looks interesting, but it's really expensive, and I've heard the camera isn't so good.

Thanks

MDA is pretty bulky. SK 3 requires expensive Sidekick data plan. I want something that can use the $6/month T-Zones plan.

Unless you want a P990, I think you're out of luck

Thanks. There's actually a newer version, the f9200, that has a better UI and a VGA camera. No removable memory, though. It's definitely close to what I want but still not quite it.

If the Sony m600i had a camera, that might be it, too ...

I may be asking too much here! It's just a drag that what I more or less want is available on Verizon but not as a GSM phone.

Anyway, thanks all for the suggestions.
