If one of the modules can be a keyboard, then I know a fair few people who will buy one...

The keyboard is the module I want.

I used my T-Mobile G2 until it died a month ago, and had to do an emergency replacement, which ended up being a Nexus 5. I'm going absolutely insane not being able to just type without thinking about it. When you have to think about your input and often correct it, you are no longer able to simply stream your thoughts, and each micro-interruption is actually quite a distraction from getting things done. It's frustrating.

Keyboard is one of the modules. And hot-swap battery.
