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.

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.

that does look nice but those proto types usually stay prototypes

can this thread be moved out of "off topic" and into the design forum?
