these keyboards are meant to be as small as possible, so you dont have an excuse to carry them with you wherever you go, and the keys must be full sized so you can touch type on them.

Keyboards without number the number row are pretty, but that's all they are.
How does one touch type on a keyboard without a number row? Maybe if you never have to type in numbers, but sooner or later you will have to type in numbers, so you'll be "touch typing" with one hand while juggling the Fn button with one finger of your other hand.
Unless you plan on carrying the keyboard in your pocket together with your phone and pocketpc, the smaller size does not translate to any real advantage. It's not as if you're going to break your back by carrying the "bigger" keyboard.
