Some people like the idea of a touchscreen keyboard, while others prefer to have the touchy feeling of typing on a built-in keyboard. You can now have both.

Well, some electrical engineering whiz-kid has just modded his iPhone (other sites are reporting it as the iPhone 3G, I don’t think so) together and fixed an external keyboard which looked like it came from those one of those Psion devices.
