Here's another alternative:
Motorola MPx!!!
It has two hinges... opens ala clamshell and also ala communicator with qwerty thumbpad. I suppose it is smaller than the communicator. It will have a touch screen and also a camera as well as several connectivity options.
Of course its Pocket PC... some may like 'em but I know some will be turned off by this.

The Motorola MPx offers:
Microsoft Windows Mobile software: Making the Motorola MPx truly an extension of your desktop, this cutting-edge device supports a multitude of business applications including Microsoft Outlook e-mail and PIM, Microsoft Word, Excel and more.

Design: Boasting a truly unique and innovative form factor, the Motorola MPx is the must-have solution to help driven professionals manage their mobile lives in realtime while adding new convenience to the converged device, resulting in a user-friendly and stylish mobile.
Advanced camera capabilities: With an impressive 1.3 mega-pixel camera and flash embedded on the Motorola MPx, messages can be delivered with more than just words.
Expansive memory: To leverage the device's ability to download Microsoft Pocket PC and Java applications, games, photos and more, the model MPx comes with a SD/MMC slot supporting up to 1 GB of memory.
Synchronization: Built in "ActiveSync" and "Air-sync" makes the model MPx capable of synching with Microsoft Outlook for easy organization. Additionally, the device supports Infrared IRDA 115 kbps for data exchange and Consumer IR (CIR) for control of audio/video and home automation equipment on the fly.

They say its gone be put into production

around in the fourth quarter of this year.
Meaning the last 3 months of this year roughly
it will be in the market by the end of the year
throughout the world.
So everyone and people you have to wait

well actually i'm very glad that motorola presented MPx because that's my point nokia could have done it better almost all things on my list are in that motorola but noooooo you guys still believe that this communicator can't be better,
my point: they could have done it better but it's awesome anyway...
@flying finn: touchscreen and keyboard doesn't make sense?!?
ow cmon almost every device that has a qwerty keyboard has either a touchscreen (clie pda's, ipaq's, tablet pcs...) or a mouse (pc's and laptops) the only device that i can remember right now that doesn't have an easy navigating system with a pointer is nokia 9500
yes you can work with it perfectly ok and it's nice to work with it (i mean on the previous comm) BUT touchscreen really comes in handy with internet viewing, painting (drawing) and with more complex apps like cecad on pocket pc etc.
so the only thing that doesn't make sense is you blind defending, why can't you see it isn't perfect we al se that p900 isn't perfect.....

I kinda meant Series 80 and the communicators when I said it wouldn't make sense. It's not a touch screen UI and that doesn't slow it down one bit. It's got a navigational pad though that can act as a mouse cursor.
From infosync
"the navigational pad doubles as a mouse cursor that can be called upon when browsing web sites in the Opera browser."
