>>They imagined a phone must have a physical keyboard

I get that I'm not representative of the market, but my pattern of using a smartphone involves a lot of email. I don't see that going away, as a lot of my communication involves people in other timezones.

I was way more productive in this when I had a blackberry, but, of course, it did suffer horribly when using the web.

It won't change, but I wish there was enough demand to keep up competition for phones with keyboards such that there was a decent physical keyboard android.

I've been a lifetime BlackBerry user (from waterloo) and just got the priv. it's a really great device but having the passport on android would be a gamechanger imo
Yes...that passport looks great. Android on a BB Passport would fit my definition of a decent keyboard android phone. The wide format looks like a more natural layout.
