Thanks everyone who gave input. This is what ended up happening:

I found an actual Droid to try and the keyboard was good enough. I needed up going with it because of how much the community has. I found one brand new for $250 and bought it, flashed it, then paid $40 to get the ESN added to MetroPCS's ineventory. So far, I am very happy with it, except that data on Metro is slow as hell, and really only good for text on the web. Still, at $40 a month, I got it for the price, not the features, and most places I can use wifi to do whatever I want. In all, I am pretty happy so far!
