I'm among the likely many people who has a second smartphone, running Android, that doesn't have a keyboard . . . and if I can't get ahold of a Nokia device with a keyboard, I probably won't bother with one. Much of the reason why I use an N900 as my primary device is because of the keyboard, which is tremendously useful for the kinds of geeky stuff I do every day (I'm a CLI guy, so wget, rsync, rtorrent, SSH and etc are my bread-and-butter) and even just for writing foolishly long messages (be they e-mails, texts, comments on ridiculously long forum threads, etc).

I've even written programs on my N900, although none worth publishing to the wider world, but that kind of thing just isn't practical without a hardware keyboard (it's only barely practical as-is). It'd be cool to have a powerful, fancy new phone, but if it's lacking major aspects of the one I currently have then it's not really easy for me to justify the expense.

It's not a knee-jerk reaction or a "OMFG WTF I hatezzz NOkia #&#$%@", it's an honest consideration of the features that through experience I've figured out are useful for me, and one of them is a hardware keyboard. If I can't get a MeeGo device with a keyboard, I'll just hold on to my N900 until it breaks, and see what the market is like when that dark day comes. And I'm certainly not irate, just quietly sad.
