This is not an Android vs Blackberry bashing by any means, so no flaming please.
I'm currently a proud owner of a Blackberry Storm 9530, but as most BB users can admit, the OS is pretty outdated, there's a lack of both quantity and quality of apps available, etc. So I'm thinking about making the switch to the Android platform. But I have a few questions.
Specifically to former / simultaneous users of Blackberry (Storm).
1. As an Android user, what do you miss about your Blackberry? My biggest concern is push email. Currently I use gmail and yahoo. Will I get my email pushed instantly to my Android phone? How does it work? Can I have multiple email accounts, as on the Blackberry?
What else does the Android phone lack, in comparison to a BB? (aside from BBM, which I couldn't care less about).
2. What does your Android phone do better, than the BB ?
Is the OS smoother, more fluid, than BB OS 5.0? Is it a lot faster?
3. How's the native browser quality and speed?
4. Do you really have a lot of "free" quality apps on the Android? (or at least in comparsion to the BB).
5. What Android phone do you recommend? It seems the Moto Droid is the most advanced, but I'm hearing the Moto Devour is coming out within the next month or so. Is this an "upgraded" moto droid, or something else altogether?
(I'm on Verizon, so only Verizon phones would apply to me).
I'm interested to hear what you all have to say. Again, no bashing. Just trying to do a fair compare / contrast here between the 2 phones. Thanks!
