No hardware keyboard? Pity. I love the look of this one, don't care much for hardware buttons (that said, how would this run without Home and Back, in addition to Call and End?), but the absence of a hardware keyboard is a deal breaker for me unless they have a damn good VK. Sadly, the one in Chomp SMS isn't doing it for me, and I've uninstalled it since.

its alrite Ghoonk Google are Developing "Cupcake" which is the new FW for Android which will include a Full VK for use with all programs so that is that one sorted and im sure that the phone will have atleast the required Hard keys. Menu,home,Call on/off, Back ! that phone looks quite nice though

been thinking about this, and have realized how much I would miss the physical keyboard and the trackball. I seem to take this for granted, but as ****ty as the materials are on the G1, the hardware works for me.

My 'ideal' device would be the G1 in the same accents, material and build quality as the Xperia or the LG, so there wouldn't be creaks and the phone would look less cheap.

Touch phones are cool and all, but frankly I would much rather have a physical keyboard.

The ideal phone for me would be the G1's physical keyboard, combined with the "SurePress" touchscreen of the Blackberry Storm.
