Ah, do you have any idea how expensive it is to have a HWKBD on a phone, even without localizing.... add to that the inventory cost of having several different locales!
Also it adds a lot of mechanical failure modes to the device, making repair costs and returns higher...

Nope, because public will not pay the premium for a keyboard it will not be made.
