So he flew to Espoo (he was based in London, like Peter Skillman, etc), and had a one on one meeting with Elop and convinced him to ditch the hardware keyboard,

They didn't want to market two phones. Heck, the N9 was only released to create excitement for the Lumia 800 and to keep the employees happy.
Also, according to Kralyevich, everyone agreed that the future of the smartphone was a full touchscreen with no keyboard.

To me it was common knowledge that there was nothing to praise ("beautiful industrial design") in the 5 minute dummy design of the N9.
Saw a new 7110 early on the flee market last Sunday. It sold in 15 mins. These things hold memory. N9 nobody would not recognize in a bucket of nails.

Anybody remember the Nokia Lauta? It was supposedly planned as an Nokia N9 successor with similar body construction and qwerty keyboard.
Too bad it was cancelled.
