NXT, Bluetooth & cell phones/PDAs

Greetings,

I need to buy a new PDA/cell phone.  I want to get one that will be able to
communicate with my NXTs via Bluetooth.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to have
the NXT send a "take picture" command to the device and have the device send
commands to the NXT, preferably even act as a remote control for the NXT.  

On a more mundane level any device I purchase must also have a primary function
of sending/receiving email.  It should be able to easily type email - preferably
with a full QWERTY keyboard (no shared buttons).  Phone functions are secondary
to email functions.  

Does anyone know of any device(s), available in the USA, which can do what I
want?  


Thank you in advance for your time.

I'm still looking for a new phone/PDA which can communicate with my NXT.  

Any suggestions?  Sometimes the best information is what NOT to use...
