Laptop advice

I am looking to buy a laptop to use for: mobile DVD watching, digital pictures, and to use with a softphone while out of the country. I am very particular about my video quality and would like the display to be absolutely top noch. I also download files from kazaa both audio and video.
I have spent over an hour on the phone with dell getting the runaround only to end up with someone that would not help me just try to sell me a computer.
I was wondering about processors, memory, hd size and also what type of "wireless" stuff I will need to access the internet in europe to make phone calls. Also what sort of converter will I need. I also wanted to be able to get online at home thru my comcast cable.

Any suggestions?

I will also be traveling with someone to Germany, is there a way I can rig up two sets of headphones. If so what will I need.

Thanks

I use this:

I upgraded it to a full meg of memory for about $150.

I have never been more in love with a laptop in my life.

Wireless is great, dvd burner, very small, light weight, very long battery life, excellent screen (XBright)...

Just a wireless network. Everything is built in and it has Bluetooth.
