Except you forget that there are other keyboard options available for WM. And frankly I wouldn't say ALL hardware keyboards are better than soft ones, personally that is a preference, and while yes probably more people would say they like a hardware keyboard more, I would say once you get over the learning curve of a decent/good soft keyboard, they are quite fast as well. However a phone with a weak hardware keyboard cannot be replaced or changed out so you are stuck with it. If it's a higher priority item on your list for a phone then wouldn't you want one with a decent one built-in?
