I’ve noticed, at least with Android, that all the best phones with the high end CPUs, maximum amounts of RAM and best displays, never have a keyboard. The only Androids that are made with keyboards nowadays are made with slow, single-core CPUs, low RAM and low rez, pen tile displays.

This leads me to wonder if the phone manufacturers are trying to steer people away from wanting keyboard phones by making keyboard phones less desirable. If they are doing this, it’s probably to save money because of course, it costs more to make a phone with a keyboard than without.

I personally don’t like it because I love a hardware keyboard and make far too many errors when I try to type with the on-screen keyboard. If necessary, I will get a phone with lower-end technology, like the Samsung Stratosphere, rather than the Droid Charge or Razr, for the simple reason that the Stratosphere has a keyboard while the other two do not.

I’m hoping the Droid 4 Mazerati will be the breakthrough we keyboard users have been waiting for, and will sport a keyboard as well as running a duel core CPU and have 1 GB RAM and maybe even Ice Cream Sandwich on it.

I guess all I can do is wait and see.
