I have the same questions!  My current mobile phone contract expires
in 3 months and I'm looking at upgrading to an Android phone.  The
current best deal I have found is for the Samsung Galaxy Portal, aka
the i5700.  [1] I'm looking at upgrading to replace my Nokia internet
tablet (n810) and non-smart phone with one unit.  The nokia does a
really nice job of running emacs and org-mode, mind you.

I'm particularly interested in knowing how the different handsets
approach the keying in of keys like C-x, M-x, TAB, et al.

Thanks,
eric

Footnotes: 
[1]  for those in the UK, the best deal is currently with T-mobile at £15 pm 
but this obviously changes day to day... 3, my current provider, are
asking £20 pm.  Both are 24 month contracts.
