I have always purchased the latest Blackberry since I like RIMM's products, but when I see phones similar to the Motoroal Cliq that take advantage of a full length keyboard tucked behind a full length screen, I am tempted to try another brand for that purpose only:
I am hoping that There will be a Blackberry that will have a wide screen with a slide out keyboard? I use my Blackberry more than my PC due to all of the emails and websites I visit for business related tasks. There are a lot of times when the textarea form of a website is too wide for the Blackberry Tour's screen to display all at once while being able to read the text. Having a BlackBerry that uses a full screen with a large keyboard would be like Heaven. I would buy a Blackberry that has that feature on launch day regardless of the price.

I'm not sure that's a good reason to want a keyboard - large text area displayed wider than the screen. There are a few java browsers that could possibly alleviate this issue (Opera Mini 4.2/5b2 or Bolt my personal favorite currently). Using the minimap function could also help.
That keyboard, or the others that HTC builds frequently for WM6/6.5 devices is NOT a full length keyboard, but I get what you mean.
I see the main arguement for such a hardware layout is because the entire screen can be used for displaying output like VNC sessions to PC's/AS400/Servers etc. To be honest there must be a reason why the Storm 2 can't be suitable.
