Plus like someone else mentioned, I would not be surprised to see someone come out with a case that has a bluetooth keyboard built into it like has come out before for other phones, so there's where all the physical keyboard lovers could get their groove on
bluetooth would be bad as it would drain energy..usb would be better...and I think I mentioned it but those are part of a phone bundle and not exactly separate ..they should make those though...theyd make millions >.>

Agreed...I thought I would never get a phone w/out a keyboard but I played with an HD2 today and could definitely go without!

I'm just hoping someone will find a way to run WinMo on the Supersonic...not sure I like Android but I WILL have that phone.

The Sense UI interface on Winmo and Android is pretty close to each other...only difference is settings and applications. Considering that M$ is abandoning winmo in a way anyways it was bound to happen eventually.

Re: EVO Poll - Who wants a physical keyboard?

I have a TP2 and hardly ever use the physical keyboard ( I use my phone one-handed 95% of the time) so I wont miss the keyboard at all. Good by Winmo, Hello Android!

Re: EVO Poll - Who wants a physical keyboard?

Yeah but those BT keyboards would eat your battery alive and create more bulk then just having an integrated. I love my hero but I don't see myself getting the EVO because other than the initial ridiculous price it will have, I really can't stand all touchscreen.

The Hero has served it's purpose to me to see how great Android is, but it still hasn't completely beaten my old TP because that old phone was damn productive with a real keyboard.

Re: EVO Poll - Who wants a physical keyboard?

Nah, I'm coming from a Touch Pro and am honestly looking forward to the thin and sleek frame on this phone. I end up using my on-screen as much as my keyboard anymore, and that's on my tiny TP screen!
