Actually I do love the hybrid approach that BlackBerry took with the Passport, Classic, and now the Priv. It is the best of both worlds.
I switched from my Curves to Google's first Nexus. I liked the phone, did not like the VKB. I've had many Android phones, and being a beta tester for Swiftkey, I constantly missed the PKB. Hated the VKB for many reasons.
I believe that if Samsung and Apple come out with a PKB version of the flagship phones, or even a slightly cheaper versions, the popularity for those types of keyboard would rise.
