I have been waiting for a phone like this since I had a Samsung Captivate Glide [0] in 2011. The fact that it can come with Linux preinstalled is a huge bonus for me.
I can't really say why I like typing on a physical keyboard, but not losing half of your screen to a virtual keyboard and also having access to modifier keys like shift, ctrl and alt are the top two reasons I prefer having the physical keyboard. Also it slides out so you only need to use it when it will help.
