Apps is the main reason. Plus it'll be cheaper than developing their own OS. Augment Android with their secure e-mail, BBM, etc and they might have something. Maybe.

Forget about the apps how about the keyboard.

There is still a significant number of people who would like a decent phone with a built in keyboard.

Android supports a hardware keyboard.

Very few, because every time someone tries one sales figures are underwhelming...
