Shopping for a phone

I am shopping for a phone. Below is my shopping list. I won't buy a phone that doesn't have every feature in the first category. My budget is $300 for something that has all features in the first two categories, less for less, more for some of the last category.

Required:
able to record calls
transfer files via standard USB cable
charge via standard USB cable
mini/micro SD storage
standard earbud and/or headphone jack
web browser
320x240 screen
QVGA video camera
alarm clock that works while the phone is powered off
google contact syncing
caller blacklist

Needed:
not carrier locked
480x320 screen
VGA video camera
modern flash/javascript-capable web browser

Wanted:
800x480 screen
GPS
2MP+ camera

Your suggestions (or offers) are welcome. I'll probably add to this list as people make suggestions or point out things I forgot.

Call recording apps work on Android on random phones, not on random others, and I'm tired of trying to figure out which are which.
The alarm thing is for battery life. If I'm in a situation where I can't charge the phone for a week, I'd like to be able to use the alarm.
