I must have bigger pockets... I regularly carry my 511EB in mine, though, yes, the PB360 is smaller. Your doubts about the keyboard are the same that I had when I was wondering whether to buy it, but the doubts never turned into actual problems.
The keyboard area means that the screen is a little higher when you're holding it, which works well in bed or when lounging around.
And the keyboard makes things like jumping to a specific page much easier, as well as offering the potential for searching and annotation with later firmware upgrades. The number keys are also used for quick navigation in menus.
I'm not saying that the PB360 isn't a wee bit better, but is the betterness of it worth £66?
