I do hope it happens, but concept art and design rarely become a reality especially when Apple is concerned.

Its all hype... fanboy seduction.

That looks slick. I wonder if they do add a phuysical keyoard if they'll still have the touch eyboard as well.

Look there is just no way that apple is going to make the iphone into a slider. Once again I have to say this, the iphone exists because Steve Job's wanted it. I have been a mac-head for many years and I can almost say for sure that no iphone will ever have a qwerty on it.

Please no SLIDE OUT KEYBOARD CRAP!

I haven't seen a nice slide out keyboard yet. I can see the Iphone having slide out game controls.

I don't get it?

I can make a really cool phone that everyone would want too. Some nice photo editing, list some cool specs off, give it a new name, so everyone would think it the next best thing.

The date that was posted was before the 3GS even launched too.

I wouldn't mind if they came out with a slider. We all know if Apple makes something it will look good. They have aesthetics down. It won't be clunky or awkward. I it might serve them some good by have 2 new devices together. One full touchscreen and another with some sort of keyboard. For a lot of people a full touchscreen was a deal breaker. Take the best mobile OS and add a physical keyboard, a lot of people will want it. Either way, i'm getting whatever is coming next. Got my upgrades ready to go

[kevinwhamm]

yeah, the slide out keyboard just adds bulk, and defeats the purpose of having a touch screen

As long as Jobs is still there I'm confident we will never see a crapboard on the the iPhone thank goodness. If there ever was one iPhone sales would drop 80% (my estimates lol) in it's first year.

That's the exact reason I don't have an iphone. Full touchscreen is a total dealbreaker. I text and email a hundred times more than I talk so the VKB doesnt do it for me... but if the iphone had a physical keyboard... bye bye blackberry.

Hahahahaha... No.

The iPhone is what it is because of a good product + hype. 80% might be an appropriate number in terms of how much the iPhone actually lived up to said hype.

I would definitely argue that if there were a KB option for an iPhone that sales would increase even over what they are now. I give Verizon credit that they released the Droid and Eris at the same time to give consumers choice.

Bottom line is, that's what consumers want: Choice. Even more so then lower prices. Time and time again it has been shown that consumers will pay top dollar, if a product is to their liking.

The iPhone would be no different. Release the iPhone 3Gx/4G or whatever the **** it's called. Release it in two forms, w/ physical KB and without. If they were also able to release on multiple carriers, they would make a KILLING. Profits would go UP 80%, not down.

Exactly. I don't see how anyone can argue about Apple releasing 2 devices with one having a keyboard. It would help them because all those that just don't go to a touch screen device would now consider an iPhone. It's about appealing to a broader audience. I'd probably have both of them if they came out with 2 devices LOL.

I send an average of 20-50sms and at least 5-10 emails per day. I also IM quite a bit I would say an average of about 30-70 IM's per day. I love to keyboard on the iPhone and I do not miss the qwerty at all. I think it really just comes down to the fact that Job's is not a fan of physical keyboards. Heck I could see them going to an all glass keyboard on the macbook pro before they put a physical keyboard on the iPhone.
