Who would buy a WM6.5/Droid2.1 phone with EVO specs + Keyboard?

I was wondering, if anyone besides myself is interested in a WM6.5 or Android 2.1 EVO phone WITH a keyboard. Those EVO specs are MOUTH WATERING!! But not having a physical keyboard is a deal breaker for me. Heck even an EVO2 with Keyboard would make me jump... Was hoping to show some interest to the providers by getting some people on board with me.

There is something wrong with this poll. Where is "OTHER"? I can pick all 4 choices. Does that make sense?

Btw, I'll wait for TP3.

Dude Android 2.1 has VOICE TO TEXT... if you can speak clearly you dont even have to use the virtual keyboard half of the time. Any field with text on 2.1 you can use voice to text on any program.. email, text or apps

Well WinMo 6.5 and wimax will most likely never happen..reason being is that no one is gonna write a wimax driver for winmo when the platform has been abandoned by M$...

As for keyboard..it would be nice but 4.3 inch screen isn't too bad to type on my guess..

Re: Who would buy a WM6.5/Droid2.1 phone with EVO specs + Keyboard?

Haven't played with a Hero yet, so not sure about Droid. So sad that WinMo7 is such a disaster...although the XBox Live hookups and games will be amazing. But if I can't cut and paste from a website to an email, what a waste of a good OS. Sad.

I would love one more HTC WinMo release before 7 kills everything.

Without a keyboard, i'm sticking with my TP2 loaded w/ Mighys 032310 SuperROM. Droid with a keyboard, Snapdragon above 1GHz, 4G, minimum 16GB micro slot and 3.5mm jack...you've got a sale.

EDIT: But that camera (plus a front-facing for video calls) is amazing! My Canon is only a 12MP IS.

I thought that the current WinMo 6.5x stuff was going to co-exist w/ WinMo 7...

Didn't they say that it would be known as Windows Phone 6 Standard or something wacky like that?
