Dell Axim with QWERTY keyboard?

Hardware vendors like Hewlett-Packard, Dell and others will be releasing a lot of new devices in the near future.

The peculiarity of the devices is that, similar to the Blackberry, they will all have a built-in QWERTY keyboard. After HP's iPaq 6500 and 6700 series, it seems that Dell is also entering the market with such a device. The handheld is expected to be equipped with Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system and a full QWERTY keyboard. There are two reasons for this new trend, one is the popularity of Blackberry and Treo, and the other is that many business users are not satisfied with the built-in virtual keyboard and do not want to carry an external device with them. Looking at the market and the expected devices, it seems that the focus is increasingly shifting towards devices equipped with a built-in "regular" keyboard or telephone.
