I think one big advantage of having a physical keyboard is the feel in typing the keys, which I can never find on a virtual keyboard even with tactile feedback.

The design doesn't seem practical if trying to replace a physical keyboard with a 2nd screen, but if the some apps can use an extended screen, the design might work.

No.. not for me.. want a regular keyboard and prefer stylus over big buttons.

Re: Nokia shoukd consider this design
 

i agree, but i do like the idea of a dynamic keyboard tho
what if a flexible lcd (oled?) skin can be put over real keyboard - to get the best of both
haptics because you did press a key, and reconfigurability because its a screen.

this IS the future of mobiles...

Open the keyboard, pull it forward and both the screens join to form a bigger one....

I am a big proponent of a hard keyboard too...BUT the range of creativity is insane consider emails, Maps with POI's, Multitasking and the other insane ideas developers can come up with.

The Samsung U750/Alias 2 does have reconfigurable physical keyboard will LED display on each key, the keys change when in portrait/keypad or landscape/keyboard.

I wish my N93i had something like that.
