I bought a MSI Wind U100 from Pasokon Koubou with english kb. They had 
to order the kb and we had to wait a while. I don't think we had to pay 
extra though.
The Wind has a nice big kb, btw.

Also you can get English kb on some Dell models, including the mini9, 
which they offer with a WWAN package.
The mini9 kb is crappy in any language.
