I am trying to find a Wifi Windows Mobile cell phone that is a flip phone
like the MPX300 or something that is small, not huge and bulky. Does anyone
know a phone like that or know of a website with a listing of Windows Mobile
SmartPhones?

Chris De Herrera's web site is a great source of info. Here's his page
comparing WM 5 Smartphones:
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/comparison/wm50smartphone.php

The QTEK 8500 is about the only flip phone I know running WM 5 or
newer.

But see this:

If you're carrier is Cingular/ATT or you're willing to deal with
unlocking, see this

I gave up and went with a candy bar (HTC S720).

HTC has a new flip phone:

Verizon also has a flip phone:

I don't know any more about either.
