    Android>>>BB.
    Im gonna get a new phone tomorrow. The one i got right now is the Blackberry bold 9700. The new Blackberry Torch fell off right away. WTF a slide in 2011 ?! Really ?
    I looked on the net alot for my next phone. The Top 4 phones out right now are HTC Desire HD, Samsung Galaxy S, Nexus S, Iphone 4.
    I compared the ? out of them and the remaining 2 were the HTC and the SGS.

    When picking one of these it comes down to taste because the two are pretty much even. The diff between the two is for example the SGS has a Super Amoled screen( the better screen) and the HTC has a better casing/8mp camera with flash.
    Those are little things and it really depends on taste and what you really need.

    Galaxy S tomorrow !

    yeah, I can't ? with a phone that doesn't have a hardware keyboard. I'll never get used to typing on a screen.

    Since I have a Droid X & have never owned a BB I gotta go w/ Android. Most ppl I know w/ a BB are planning on switching to Android when their contracts are up.

    Of Course Android is much better then BB, I used both of but now Android in best at recent time, Number of nice application available and great clarity and so many nice features. Best operating system and easy to use. Great for personal use and also best performance in Business use.

    I thought people stopped using keyboards in 2006? Who wants that old technolgy. I know people with Epics that say they never even open up the keypad. Its pointless. Plus the Epic has terrible GPS issues. Evo is by far better. Even Sprint makes commercials about the Evo and the Epic.

    The best 2 phones on the market right now are...

    Samsung galaxy S and HTC Desire HD.
    The only phones that can be better are coming this year(summer) with the next generation hardware.

    And it aint no contest between BB and Droid. i just switched from a BB 9700 bold to a Galaxy S.

    The only thing is getting used to the keyboard

    a tactile interface is superior to touchscreen all day, every day. This is why they still make phones with hardware keyboards, and why they will continue to do so.

    Swype has eliminated the need for such antiquated things. Its definitely not superior to be tapping on buttons when you can just swype a command on the screen. I can even imagine going back to that nonsense.

    I didn't really like swipe that much but I didn't use it much honestly. I like having options and some slang terms that doesn't work witout typin. Epiv is better imo

    You can program swype to learn any slang words you want. Of course you have to use the old way of "poking" a text, but once its added to the librabry its in there forever.

    Blackberry are great for emails and corporate emails, their BBM is dope too. But androids overall are just better phones. Especially Motorola Androids. I had the blackberry storm and loved it, but then I upgraded to the droid and been with the droid ever sense. I now have the X now, and I haven't had any problems with this phone or even when I had my first droid. Just a good phone overall.

    BlackBerry is so dated it's not even funny. And I don't even like Android.

    I think it really depends on what you want the phone. Eclair to build a new Google is coming out seems to be robust. Motorola Android 2.0 Eclair Droid works and I believe Verizon is out November 6.
