Forget the keyboard. Those of us hauling an iPad everywhere don't need anything else except a minimal phone which is nothing more than a phone. The simple act of calling still hasn't been perfected the way Apple could do it, esp. if paired to a tablet. Give us an iPhone Nano which auto-syncs contact lists, displays call info on a tablet (if that's on), voice dials, VoIPs to non-POTS audio communications (say: uses Skype or FaceTime's audio to contact someone via email address), has dead-simple configuration, forgoes everything not related to making a voice (or perhaps video) call.
Seriously, has anyone in the industry tried to get a "just a phone" that isn't an inch thick and downright obnoxious to use? Last time I did, the Verizon clerk had to dig thru the back storeroom to find a 3-year-old "candybar" phone (which tried setting itself on fire a few months later) of tolerable size & minimalism. Closest thing out there is is "John's Phone", which still screws up by insisting on doubling the size for storage space for a paper (!) pad and pencil (!).
Please, Apple, an iPhone Nano. You're my only hope.
