Flip phone with full QWERTY keyboard - will it ever happen?

The 8220 is pretty exciting. Finally, a Blackberry flip phone. But wow, it would be tough to give up the full QWERTY keyboard. Anyone know if there will ever be a Blackberry flip phone with full QWERTY keyboard?
True, but it would be so nice to not have to keyboard lock my blackberry every time I put it in my pocket. What if they made a phone just like the 8220, same thickness, but 3/4" wider (or whatever would be needed for the full QWERTY). Would be awesome.
I don't think the form factor will allow it. A slider phone is a possibility, but I prefer the Curve form factor because it's one piece, hence fewer pieces that could break.
Well it may sound good having a Blueberry Flip phone, it would look unique but also kind of silly because it's like holding a scientific calculator. It does help in protecting the screen of the phone but with a QWERTY keyboard it may appear rather bigger and bulkier.
A patent from RIM, looking at the Picure it isn't a full qwerty but has the capability to be. of course we might never see this again. Since it does look kind of wierd.
