HTC's new [http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-g2 G2/Z] has a keyboard, and runs stock Android, so it's a good choice as an "open source Android" (though a handset with [http://www.anandtech.com/show/3967/the-tmobile-g2-preview/4 slightly larger battery] and numeric row on the keyboard would be nice). Perhaps Google will release it as the "N2;" if not, the next best thing could be a group purchase of a particular handset from an unlocked provider (maybe http://www.puremobile.ca/HTC/HTC-Desire-Z-GSM-Phone/ in Canada).
