The keyboard doesn't seem of any practical use, it is totally light weight, so I really don't see me using it for real purposes. I would even tend to think that a phone emulation would be of more use.
So is there any real interest or is it just geek buzz (which I can understand by the way no blaming here)?

The screen is nice, the keyboard seems quite durable, the tactile feedback is great (there is never a question about missing a keystroke) and the form factor is great. This may be the first programmable pocket calculator that is so compact that one never has any excuse for leaving it at home.

Sure you could use a phone, but why complain about the keyboard and then suggest a phone emulator? Anyway a phone based emulator doesn't run for years on a single coin cell...
