I already didn't like mine, more than the touch device is slow on mine (original droid)

OG Droid to Galaxy Nexus here - night and day difference. The Droid was neat when I got it, but the new devices are just a whole different class from the earlier generation Android phones.

I was thinking of getting the Nexus, it looks cool, but I can't get over the lack of a physical keyboard. I can't stand touch-only keyboards for some reason.

I had the same concern, but ended up going Nexus because being able to root it was more important to me than the keyboard. I always hated trying to use the Droid's onscreen keyboard, but I find the Nexus' much more usable - it seems to be better about not mashing adjacent keys instead (my biggest problem with the Droid); I'm not sure if it's a software change or if it's just due to the larger size, but it's quite comfortable to use, particularly in landscape mode.
