Well this is a forum for a device we barely know when it will come out or anything about it other then the obvious...what kind of productive argument can we possibly have?

Seriously...

As if someone saying "this is the dumbest thread ever" is somehow more productive or more relevent than our actual conversation.

Someone says a device is "over half an inch bigger" than another device, I point out it is false, the guy who said it posts numbers that prove he was wrong, and they say I'm the one who can't be reasoned with or whatever, lol. Whatever.

again you go back to one over exaggeration lol. it was nearly a half an inch bigger (not half a cm) this is significant especially if your pants have small pockets/are even remotely tailored to your size. calm down you win the "over" half an inch was an exaggeration. Now lets breath and move on.

From how it looks, HTC is straying away from physical keyboards. I love my TP2 keyboard just as much as the next TP2 guy but there are so many times when i look at the phone and say this phone would be a lot sleeker if it only had the keyboard side or just the screen side.

I would look to the Moment 2 if your big on keyboards. Maybe HTC will continue the keyboards on the windows classic/6.5 phones (dont hold your breath for wp7).

We are heavy in the compete/be like iphone age. With better onscreen keyboards, physical keyboards are slowly dying on smart phones.

Regular keyboards on phones are not dieing...but a lot of the competition is trying to go for the iphone design. LG and Samsung are still releasing keyboard phones..HTC was never too big on Keyboards to begin with, they only released follow ups to the ppc6700>mogule>tp>tp2 line...even Toshiba is releasing a phone with a keyboard.

So now you're saying it's nearly a half inch bigger, and not barely half a cm bigger? You realize it's a lot closer to half a cm (.3 cm away) than half an inch (.47 cm away), right?

Yes, lets breath and move on. But if you're going to throw parting shots in then at least make sure they're accurate. Half an inch is 1.27 cm. The size difference is not anywhere close to that.

To add to your thought a little there...

The only companies I can think of that don't make keyboards are Apple and HTC (anymore). Even Motorola is big on keyboards.

Hopefully the way the Droid totally destroyed the Droid Eris in sales will make HTC wake up and realize a lot of people do want keyboards.

Speaking of that, the Nexus 2 that Motorola was rumored to be working on had some pretty awesome specs (and a keyboard). Hopefully it sees the light of day eventually.

Well the Motorola Droid had a $100 million marketing campaign so its not really fair to day that...

As for the Nexus Two, you mean the Motorola Shadow? I hope its not it cause I'm hoping on a good keyboard like the TP2 with dedicated number line >.>

The Droid had a huge marketing campaign because they knew it would sell. They could have put the Droid Eris on a huge marketing campaign if they wanted. and the marketing campaign of the droid is nothing compared to what the iPhone has had over the last 3 years.

I wouldn't plan on seeing a keyboard like the TP2 for quite a while. HTC hit perfection there, and then dropped keyboards altogether. No other company has ever had such a nice keyboard though so I would not expect to see one unless HTC makes it (which seems like a slim to none possibility).

If Motorola (and/or anyone else) has a lot of success with keyboards though, maybe HTC will try to copy/beat them instead of focusing on the iPhone.

And who knows anyway? We might see an Android device with a body style like the TP2 but with beefed up specs.
