Wondering if anybody else has ditched their Android device in favour of a Blackberry, like i just have :-) Got rid of my old HTC Hero and decided to try a Blackberry 9700.
Definetly been turned into a Blackberry fan! Loving this phone so far, has all the features you need while having the physical feel of buttons. Touch screen phones seem to be taking a step back in technology, their functionality is being sacrificed for gimmicks! The 9700 seems so functional its like a text/e-mail powerhouse :-)
Welcome to the community and hope you enjoy your experience! I would also like to have both, but I'm not a fan of sliders. Nothing, however, compares to having a Bold keyboard :3

I have switched from an iPhone 3G to the 9700 Bold myself and the truth is that the feeling if completely different from touch to actually pressing the buttons. The design and functionality of the BlackBerry are fantastic. No regrets for the switch and I am sure I'll be having this phone for a long time.
The only concern I have is towards the applications since in my country appworld is not supported. RIM should really do something about that.
