Tilting landscape sliders are a fairly rare breed. When I first got my TP2, I didn't think I'd like the tilting screen, I mostly just wanted the keyboard. Now I'm holding out upgrading until something with a similar tilt comes out for Android -- which may well be never. HTC made one for WP7, but nothing for Android.
The reason is that I read every night, as part of my routine. With the keyboard out and the screen tilted, it is very easy and comfortable to hold with one hand. My thumb falls right on the arrow keys and my index finger fits in the joint between screen and keyboard for stability. I used to have it set up for quick right to left switching (an upside-down portrait mode and alternate keyboard mapping) but that got harder software wise.
I was perfectly happy before I got this using my Palm m500 and later my TX, but now I'm spoiled. I don't want to go back.
I'm not sure I can recommend the TP2 as a smartphone. Obsolete OS, obsolete guts... but it is a great ereader.
