I used to have to Curve 8330, Storm1 and the tour 9630. I couldn't see myself leaving blackberry at all. But I'm also a big Google fan, so I decided to give Android a try. I also owned a Palm treo for about 2 years so I'm not a fanboi of anything in specific. That being said, what I miss the most from BB is the profile settings and BBM.
What I prefer about the Android is the speed and memory that they put in their devices. But I'm pretty sure Blackberry is going to start making their stuff faster. And I don't know how people complain about the OS on the BB. I was running 5.0 on my Tour and everything was what I needed to be. I actually miss the stock icons. Only thing that was a pain was the browser. Other than the browser and speed, the BB is a rock solid device.
I been watching videos on BB 6.0 and it's looking even better. It's also getting a webkit so no more slow browser. I see myself getting another BB somewhere in the future. The new 9800 Slider is looking pretty nice. But for now I'm going to enjoy my Android. As long as Google keeps making google sync (calendar and contacts) it's easy to switch devices every couple years.
edit: Another thing I couldn't stand about BB is their reboot time and that sometimes you had to restart phone when installing an app.
