This is porbably the most random post I have ever seen. But I pronounce it like how I would say torque and android put together, but then again I have an Indian accent.

I'd take the words 'top' and 'android' - 'to-roid', but then I've an 'English' (British) accent.

My Canadian ex-wife would agree with High Voltage Chick, though.

The second half is, I think, pretty widely agreed to be like the "oid" of android".
The vowel represented by the first o is a schwa, at least when I say it.
