These are available right now, but not limited to the US.

Acer Liquid A1 - No keyboard
Acer Liquid E - No keyboard
Alcatel OT-980 - keyboard
Dell Ophone mini3i - No keyboard
Gigabyte GSmart - No keyboard
Google / HTC Nexus One - No keyboard
HTC Desire / Bravo / Passion / Dragon - No keyboard
HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 with Google - Keyboard
HTC Eris (Verizon’s Hero) - No keyboard
HTC Hero / G2 Touch - No keyboard
HTC Magic / T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google / Ion / Sapphire - No keyboard
HTC Tattoo / Click / Fiesta - No keyboard
Huawei T-Mobile Pulse Mini - No keyboard
Motorola Android Quench / Cliq XT / Zepplin - No keyboard
Motorola Backflip - Keyboard
Motorola Droid / Sholes / Tao / A855 - Keyboard
Motorola i1 / Opus One - No keyboard
Motorola Morrison / Cliq / Dext - Keyboard
Motorola MOTOROI / XT720 - No keyboard
Motorola MT710 - No keyboard
Samsung Behold II - No keyboard
Samsung Galaxy / i7500 - No keyboard
Samsung Moment - Keyboard
Samsung SHW-M100S - No keyboard
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 / X10 / Infinity - Keyboard

In summary,
18 without keyboards (17, if you combine the Eris with the Hero, which would be reasonable)
7 with keyboards
Well we're only concerned with phones available in the USA. The only reason it was brought up was because p-slim said if we wanted a keyboard we would have to settle for a device someone tells us to use, and there were twice as many non keyboards as keyboard devices being offered by the carriers (and he specifically listed Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile). I just pointed out that it was wrong, and there are plenty of choices for those of us that want a keyboard- even more than non keyboards.

I'll be the first to admit I have no idea what's available in North Korea or wherever. But as far as right here in the USA, there are plenty of keyboard choices if you look at other companies besides HTC.
