iPhone 5 with a Hardware Keyboard could happen

Apple is busy at work on the new iPhone 5 and possibly also on a low-end iPhone currently rumored as iPhone nano. According to Apple Insider, Taiwanese blog tw.apple.pro has spilled some rumors that Apple is circulating three iPhone 5 prototypes. One of these iPhone 5 phones would sport a slide-out keyboard.

The hardware keyboard on the iPhone 5 would be revealed under a sliding cover. There are no details where this keyboard would be located. An iPhone with a hardware keyboard would spell trouble for RIM. Many BlackBerry owners only stick to RIM's devices because the iPhone does not have a hardware keyboard. An iPhone 5 Pro with keyboard could accelerate its foray into the enterprise.

I really do not want a hardware keyboard on my next iPhone. I just need more speed, larger screen, longer battery life and it never hurts if it's thinner.

The new iPhone 5 is expected to be released in June.
