Looks like some new BlackBerrys will be out this year including a hybrid physical / capacitive keyboard.

BlackBerry's Passport is striking for a couple of reasons. It has a physical QWERTY keyboard that is also a capacitive keyboard, allowing touch gestures, such as swipes, to be made over the keys. And it has an unusual 1440x1440 resolution. Vintage BlackBerrys featured landscape mode screens, culminating in the VGA Bold 9900, while their anointed successors, the Q5 and Q10, opted for a 720x720 square display instead.

Why do you say that? The Blackberry keyboard is still probably the best on the market, its good to see them improving it and releasing interesting new products.

This will likely make a very good business device (which isn't something I can say about iPhones or Android devices).
