really long time reader 1st time poster.

Can't believe I've registered over this but wanted to also express the fact I really want a hwkb.

I didnt come here for the FOSS etc. I didnt even know what linux was untill I got my N900!

I CAME FOR THE KEYBOARD!

I really cant get on with vkb's and dont know how I will live without keyboard shortcuts. Cant imagine selecting text without shift+dpad or copying and pasting onscreen.
I dont think ive ever used the onscreen browser back button and rarely switch tasks without using the Ctrl+bkspace shortcut.

I am now hooked on open source etc. but i really dont know if i can take a device without a hwkb.

anyway rant over. lets hope they prove us all wrong with something brilliant!

EDIT: since I went to register look how many are saying the same as me. All the "noobs" that joined this community a year and a half ago didnt come for any reason but the hardware!

I also know another 4 people who have N900's and know nothing of the OS etc. but Love the hardware!!!
