Yeah I am not even pretending I could get by without a keyboard. That's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on an HD2 when it is released. There is another option though:

That comparison shows the CDMA Touch Pro 2, the T-mobile HD2, and the LG Projector phone that AT&T has. You can see that LG phone is almost as nice as the HD2 spec wise (better than the Touch Pro 2 anyway) and it has a keyboard. If you don't mind AT&T, it could be the one. And it's available right now, no need to wait several months.
I didn't know that thing had a snapdragon processor until earlier today...
