why do you think the iphone lacks a keyboard? because it would be less "innovative"?

man when i see phones like this and the HD it makes me wonder why they didn't' put android on a better looking phone. not knocking the g1, but HTC is clearly capable of making a product more appealing to the eyes than the G1.

I'm not talking about the iPhone ( yes it's sexy and doesn't need a kb ). But I don't think there is a sexy full touch screen with a keyboard yet.

that's what I am getting at. Keyboards are klunky and take up too much space. They make the phone less durable and require it to be a specific size.

Every phone that gets the "wow/sexy" factor (iPhone, Diamond...Instinct? Omnia?) is keyboardless...Xpertia is supposed to break that mold, we'll see...
