From VZW TP2 To HD2... or not (need advice)

I'm currently looking into the upcoming 2010 Verizon lineup. Maybe an upgrade from the TP2? I've had my TP2 since it's release in September 09, and will keep it for a while (btw, I'm out of contract from VZW since Feb '10 - yay!). I just upgraded my moms phone to the TP2 on Friday. She's been dealing with the blackberry and it's limitations and that godaweful stupid trackball (she does A LOT of scrolling - especially with e-mails. The TP2 touch screen alone will be worth it for her).

So I'm wondering, it seems the upcoming awesome-phones of 2010 are for non-keyboard devices. If the next best phones are keyboardless (OMG I LOVE having this TP2 keyboard!!!!!!!!), then I might as well give my TP2 to my mom, and, (gulp), make the switch of shame to T-Mobile and get the HD2 (if only it had a hardware keyboard. No screen can be big enough, and no software can substitute the feel and use of the hardware keyboard - especially the TP2's amazingly incredible hardware keyboard).

So whaddya say, jump ship for HD2, or wait for a better hardware-keyboarded phone?

Also, a side question: If I give my mom my TP2, will the warranty carry over as well? How would that work?
