Why so hard to find WM6P phone?

It seems like when it comes to mobile phones that run Windows Mobile, the preference is Windows Mobile 6 Standard over Professional. Why is that? Is it that the screens are too small to be useful for a touch interface when there's also a QWERTY keyboard? I know Expansys sells a few QWERTY Windows Mobile 6 Professional phones, but I imagine there must be a reason the carriers in Toronto Canada (Rogers, Fido, etc.) don't sell them.

I think it has more to do with cost than size. Leaving out a touchscreen saves big on the overall cost of a phone. Those savings are passed on the consumers through there providers.
