moin moin,

I need to get new phones. Which of the t-mobile android phones best meet
the following requirements?

Required features:
. bluetooth tethering
. ability to turn off GPS if one is available
. ssh out
. bluetooth
. connect to my own mail servers
. root access
. play ogg-vorbis
. contact, etc. syncing w/ GNU/Linux

Desired features:
. tether and call at the same time
. on phone internet connection and call at the same time
. ssh in across cell network
. USB tethering
. fully functional while charging
. root access w/o jailbreaking
. wifi
. tetherable via wifi
. phone to phone communication via bluetooth
. phone to phone communication via wifi
. GPS
. camera and video
. external storage card, prefer sdmc
. can use external display ( monitor and/or TV )

Any features that I forgot?

t-mobile has Motorola CLIQ, Samsung Behold II, t-mobile myTouch and G1.
Which is the better phone? I will be trying to do this w/o a contract, so
deals don't matter and all phones appears to be almost equally expensive.
I am interested in consumer ready, easy to use as this one is for my wife.

What services/features are included in the service plan? If not, what is
the add on cost?

. cell phone calling?
. internet access ( not just web )?
. tethering?
. gps?

I still haven't completely decided whether I will go with the Nexxus One
or N900 for my own use. Will the N900 work with t-mobile? I believe it
will.

I could consider ATT if I go with the N900 and it works well with ATT, but
as I understand it the Nexxus One currently will not work fully with ATT.

Does t-mobile carry a Linux-based, large numbered, low-cost phone? This
one just needs to be able to make and receive calls on the family plan.
Receiving text messages on the family plan would also be good.

ciao,
