keyboard, please!

[quixote]

I'm a (future) user, and this phone is what I've been waiting for in so 
many ways.  Except one.  No option to buy one with a qwerty keyboard. 

Please, please, please re-think that.  I have to do a lot of writing and 
emailing while away from my main computer, and the lack of a keyboard is 
a showstopper for me.  I remember seeing one earlier comment on the same 
topic from someone who does a lot of text messaging.  A *lot* of people 
are using phones as stand-ins for computers, and a keyboard is essential 
for that.

It could be relatively easy to add a keyboard if it was simply an added 
hinged component, i.e. you had much the same shape, but it would be 
twice as thick (and heavy) for those of us desperate to have keyboards, 
and it would open on the long side, like the LG9800 or the ROAD phone.

How do other people feel about this?
