I use my keyboard on my TP extensively but that's because the on-screen keyboard is just too small for my oversized thumbs.

To be honest, it pretty much always boils down to personal preference. I cannot imagine a phone that I use so much (especially for business, lots of texting/appointments/tasks/etc.) without a physical keyboard, and especially the TP2's which is butter. You should always avail yourself of the opportunity to use the phone yourself first at a store or what have you. I really like the on-screen keyboard with the TP2, but if I have anything more than a password or couple words to enter, I use the physical keyboard.
A reinforcement for me as to the importance of the physical keyboard was when my friend got his Samsung Omnia II a few weeks ago and I helped him with syncing. The phone is lighter than a paperclip and super thin, but I thought to myself "Really? That's it? Stuck with the onscreen keyboard?" Couldn't imagine daily usage like that.
