Buying Cellphones for advance users

I lost my cellphone when I had my vacation in Jakarta. So here I am hunting for new cellphone.
One thing that I regret... I should've bought it in Indonesia. It is the heaven for cellphone aficionados. The latest model at the cheapest price, man alive... you can never find these combinations every where.

Advance users, what is you priority reason in buying a cellphone?
I notice that the more advance you are in using a cellphone the less feature you require in your cellphone. You need your cellphone to be able to cope with your mobile lifestyle so to speak. Beside talking, you need your cellphone to have wide varieties of connectivity. You need to be able to connect to internet and/or other devices such as your PocketPC or Laptop. Your laptop or your PocketPC needs to be able to dial your cellphone as modem or gateway to your GPRS services (if you are among the early adopters, you may consider cellphones with UMTS/EDGE technology) for your internet connection need.
I do not believe in smartphone unless it uses the stylus. Why? Have you tried editing your paper in smartphone with a small regular keypad that requires you to press the button 3 times to get the vowel I, O and twice to get the vowel E and U. Thumbing down the letters in a Smartphone with QWERTY keypad does not do any good either.
If you have read Gary Hammel and CK Prahalad about how computer and communication merged. They drew the infallible graphic to describe the how computer and communication merged however, they should have known that time flies so that graphic continues too. After merging, the arching lines continue to separate. Why? Cellphone or mobile phone will serve the purpose of communicating, not computing, in which it will continue to become voice communication and gateway for data communication. Connectivity will be very important.

Now you find the cellphone of your dream, is that it? Have you forgotten something?
Offcourse there are other things that you need to consider. What web services can you get from, not only that brand but also, your particular type of cellphone. Cellphone manufacturers now provide you with a lot of webservices such as additional software downloads.
Moreover about software downloads, try google software for your particular type of cellphone. See the variant of the softwares available on the market. You may be able to predict where this type of cellphone is going. Is it going to satisfy people of your crowd or else?
