I see that a number of people replied that they are coming from blackberrys and are a little concerned about losing the physical keyboard and other things....
i used to consider myself a blackberry buky/geek. then i made the plunge to android with the first android phone the G1. I returned it on day 30 (of the 30 day return policy). it was very cool but being the first android device ever it was still buggy and there were things slowing me down (calendar entries, messaging, etc). so i went back to the blackberry.
However, I made the final plunge from blackberry to android when the original motorola droid came out a couple years ago. i have never looked back. once google ironed out most of their issues, android, in general is a solid OS.
Keyboard issue:
I find myself typing faster with android than the blackberry. As mentioned above, swiftkey is my choice of a keyboard. It is a smart keyboard and it predicts based on your history.
Please note that with Ice Cream Sandwich (on the Galaxy Nexus) you probably do not need any other keyboard other than whats built in since it uses similar technology. Google bought the company the mind "Blind Type"

A while back - I had so many friends asking me "why is android better than..." so i made a little guide and posted on my blog (that i completely do not update any more. the post can still be found here:
