Looks like the market has left those models behind sadly.
We might see a random one, but nothing so far and probably in the near future.

Nokia had conducted a survey about an year and half back and Elop mentioned that there was still demand for devices like E7 outside US, but they never tried to bring a WP, may be on OS limitation?

I'd be interested to see wp on a keyboard form factor - it does come with office! The blackberry passport is the only device I can think of that would sort right with wp (the Q10 is perhaps too small for the multimedia aspect of WP).

Possibility... Yes.

Likeliness... I doubt it.

Personally not a fan of physical keyboards. A waste of screen estate to me. Unless they are those that slide like old phones, and not like those of blackberries.

As I've said before, I'm a sucker for portrait sliders.

Argh if I could get something like the Dell Venue Pro or Palm Pre 3 with a current OS.

it's nice to have a unique smart phone these days, having a full touch handset device is just ordinary nowadays

Windows physical qwerty phone could be true if MS co is Stefan Elop. Now if you want qwerty phone you have to make it your self like jolla phone. Jolla is Nokia's old meego.

As an owner and an avid fan of the WP7 Dell Venue Pro, I would LOVE an updated version of that phone. I think it would sell well too.. If promoted and advertised, and sold via Verizon, AT&T, and T-mobile at the same time. Only reason the DVP didnt sell was NO ONE SOLD IT.. It was only available at the Dell website. Not even Best Buy carried it.. I wish I could upgrade it to Windows 8.1 if I could I would get a "new" one. Best phone I ever owned.
