The Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard & Android
At present, there is one external keyboard solution for most Android phone users. That's the Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard from Freedom Input Limited.
The keyboard features a folding form factor and was designed specifically with smartphone users in mind. In March 2010, the company added an Android OS driver for this product, which works with Android v1.5 and above. The driver must be installed on your Android phone in order to use the Freedom Pro.

Others have been and are working on bringing the keyboard and Android together. At My Mobile Gear there are beta drivers for select SPP (Serial Port Profile) keyboards. These drivers are not designed for typical users, but if you're an advanced user comfortable with experimenting, you can take a look at the work they've done.
