I have the HTC EVO ( Sprint ) and for virtual keyboards I really like Swype. But to be honest, I like even more the speech to text capability, where I can literally dictate a message into the SMS text app, or the email apps. Accuracy is very good, doesn't usually require any more correction than the spelling and autocorrect mistakes from the keyboard. Hopefully your version of Android has this feature too ???
