Help Me Out Please

I’m looking for a new cell phone. My current cell phone is getting up there in age, but I absolutely love it because it has a radio, GSM/GPRS enabled, allows me to compose my own ring tones, is tiny as hell, and I can change the cover depending on my mood.
I’ve always been a Nokia girl, and I’d like to keep it that way (unless the phone that meets all my requirements isn’t a Nokia).
So, please help me find a new phone.
Ideally, my new phone will:
- Be very small and light weight (not a flip phone).
- Have a radio, or at very least an MP3 player.
- Have built in wireless capabilities.
- Have a colour screen. (My current phone is still b/w.)
- Have polyphonic ring tones.
- Allow me to compose my own ring tones.
- Allow me to set custom ring tones for individual callers.
- Have an alarm.
- Have vibrate capabilities (you’d be surprised how many cell phones don’t).
- Customizable face plates.
- Be unlocked.
- Have a camera (totally optional, but would be nice).
- Have awesome reception, anywhere and everywhere.
- Have long battery life.
- Be under $500.
(The bolded stuff is a must.)
Thank you in advance to any cell phone aficionados who may be able to help me.

Just an update: I’ve found a phone :D. Well, actually, my sister found the phone and, not surprisingly, we now have the exact same phone.
Sony Ericsson w600i
It doesn’t have all the features on my list and the complete lack of automatic key lock is truly an annoyance, but for the most part, it’s an awesome phone/MP3 player (with FM radio).
I also coupled it with a Sony Ericsson Blue Tooth Headset, and gave the free promotional one to my sister.
