iPhone with a slider keyboard coming soon?

Hot on the heels of another analyst predicting the availability of an entry-level “iPod Phone” by the end of the year, Piper Jafray’s analyst Gene Munster stated that he also believes that Apple will introduce a new entry-level iPhone model… with a slider keyboard, by the end of March 2009.

Mr Munster wrote in a note to investors: “While we believe it is unlikely that a new iPhone will be released at Macworld, we continue to expect a new model by the end of the March quarter. Specifically, we believe Apple could introduce a lower-end model that is slightly thicker due to the inclusion of a slider keyboard for students (texting) and business use (e-mail) between $99 and $149,” reports InformationWeek.

That would be quite interesting… if it would happen, of course.
