Dilemma (no, seriously)

Let's face it. One of the best things about Japan are the super-cool cell phones. I've been having a hard time trying to decide which one to get though, since no model combines all the features I'm looking for. The oh-so elusive Holy Grail of cell phones would be equipped with a 480 line VGA screen for that mouth-watering, crisp visual experience, a clam shell design to protect said screen (plus it looks cool) and a GPS to navigate the labyrinthine back-alleys of Tokyo (see previous post). The two top candidates are the Sharp 912SH and the Toshiba 912T. The former sports a rather novel flip design which supposedly makes browsing PC websites and watching digital TV broadcasts easier, but it lacks GPS. The latter is slightly thinner, with a stainless steel front and the ability to rotate the screen to the front - useful for taking pictures and watching TV, but hardly for browsing the Internet. This handset falls short on it's measly 240 line QVGA screen and considerably shorter battery life. The only fair way to decide which model is the better is a good old fashioned fight to the death.
