I've been happy with the N800, which, of course, lacks a keyboard. And I value pocketability and light weight.

Nonetheless, "even I" think the N950 should have a hardware keyboard. With Nokia's stated intention to release the N950 as yet another experiment for hobbyists and those remaining developers whom they haven't already managed to drive from their ever-changing Linux platforms, they would have to be idiots not to include a hardware keyboard. So I guess there won't be one.
