For what is worth, HTC Wizard was to my knowledge the first phone with landscape slide out keyboard and it was announced sometime in the beginning of 2005 and released in summer 2005 (I got mine in February 2006), so if they are really trying to get a patent for this they should have a hard time getting it...
As for slide keyboard concept in general, I remember Nokia allready had few devices with slide keyboards in last century, one of them even played a notable role i he first Matrix...
