Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. You can typically find this in settings for your account.

Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze.

If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device.
