You left out the ability to connect to a phone that has HSDPA / 3g (in
my case the Nokia E51) via Bluetooth or USB, and use it as a modem :)

and we are talking about a "phone"... so the camera... is clearly NOT
a priority for a first phone;..
fortunately there is no keyboard ;) ! or where's the point with the
touchscreen...

If you can type as fast on a touch screen as I can on a properly sized
thumb keyboard, you are a magician.
A keyboard is an absolute must of anyone seriously wanting to have text
input.
Touch screens are only feasable for single click/move/drag types of
problem domains ... say for example scrolling through a picture gallery.
