I blame Apple (and then Samsung for copying Apple) for stealing this form factor from us.

Didn't have that one, but I did have the HTC TouchPro2 that came with Windows Mobile but was able to shoehorn a functional version of Android "Froyo" on it. Peak smartphone form factor limited by the technology of its time. Shame.

I had a "T-Mobile MDA Vario II" (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

It looked like this, just less German:
