I love my Passport. There is nothing that can touch a BlackBerry for email and messaging accuracy and speed. That said, there's nothing like Android for customization. I work fast and accurately with the Passport and I like to play with my Android phone. I guess it's all down to what you want it for. If it's games or deep Google integration and you're not bothered too much about malware or Google snooping,go Android. However, the Passport is a joy to use, privacy and speed to get things done is the reason that I find it indispensable. Also, the stainless steel frame gives it a strength seldom found in other Smartphones.
