Default Suggestions for Mobile Device

I have been looking for a long time at different mobile devices that I have interest in. Never really found one that did everything I want at a price point I want (I know I'm asking for a lot!). Most recently, I have been interested in the Nokia N900 and the new rumored Dell MID ("Streak"). I do not want something to replace my phone! I have a Blackberry Pearl and I love it. I am not into having an all in one device that does all of my mobile requirements. I just wanted suggestions for devices based on my guidelines:

1. The device would primarily be used for Internet browsing, email, and random other small tasks.
2. Must have WiFi (3g I haven't decided on).
3. I would like it to be pocket friendly. The nokia n810 is a good size.
4. Sleek and stylish are good, and I want something that performs (good hardware specs).

Some devices I have looked at that may help you understand where I am coming from are:

Nokia N810
Dell MID (Streak)
openMoko Neo Freerunner
Creative Zii Egg
Archos 5g

I understand that some of these devices don't meet all of the requirements I wanted, that's the problem. However, if a device you think of doesn't meet ALL of the requirements please list anyway! I appreciate everyone time, thanks!

Have you thought about the Apple iPod touch? It's a great little device for web browsing, and it's decent for e-mail -- I'd give it higher marks if it had a physical keyboard instead of a virtual one.

Appreciate that, not sure why I hadn't really considered it. I'm not anti-Apple or anything I just am not really into them. Good idea, I'll check it out as well. Any more suggestions?

Have you looked at the Samsung Mondi? Here's the dets:

It's pocket size... barely. If you have big pockets.

That Mondi looks amazing! It's the same size as the iPAQ 210 (and roughly my old iPAQ 3765), but weighs less and has a full keyboard, GPS, a camera, and more internal memory built in. Oh, now I'm gonna want one of those. :-p Too bad it's $500 at Best Buy... (the only place I can find it) I hope this class of devices takes off, so new ones come out, prices drop, and I can afford one!
