ok.. seriously thinking of ditching the BB

[graffixnyc]

I have been seriously debating ditching my BB bold 9700 and going android. I'm on TMO and really want a android with a qwerty keyboard. I was going to hold out to see if TMO released a new qwerty android because I'm not crazy about how the G2 looks NOW however.. I can get the G2 for free and it's looking mighty tempting.. I'm just so afraid I will switch from BB to Android and regret it. Can some other BB/Android convertees give me some thoughts? I have been a loyal loyal BB user for years now I'm just afraid I will give it up and then regret it

I went from the BB Storm to the Droid X and have no regrets. I love android and will likely stick with android for a long time. If your not happy with your BB it would prob be a good move for you.

I do love my BB and am def a crackberry head but RIM is falling so far behind in handset hardware and UI. I'm kinda itching to jump to android though. How is the G2? Is it a decent phone? Like I said I'd be coming from a BB 9700 running BB OS 6.0

I haven't used it before, but based off the specs it is a decent phone. Can't beat the price.

Well I took the plunge! TMO has having a promotion to get the G2 for free on a new contract. I tried to get it for free but since I was an exsisting customer they wouldnt let me do it through the site.. I called and they said they couldnt do anything.. I called back threatened to close my account and then came back and said they would give me that deal they gave to new customers so I got the G2 for free Also their unlimited android data package is $30 but since I was on a granfathered 19.99 BB data plan they are giving me Unlimited Android data for 19.99!! I will have my g2 by friday! If I really dont like it I have that 14 day buyers remorse option
Thanks!

I'm still running stock 2.2 on my g2, it's an amazing and clean device. There are only a couple of added apps on the phone like goggles, listen, etc. But it's a super clean Google experience. I'd recommend trying to run it unrooted for a while see how you like it.
