Default Any good android forums?

I'm wondering if anyone has any good Android based forums they could share with me?
I've checked out androidcentral. I may be making the swap and am a little intrigued by the droid razr. I would like to get a better feel for the android market and opinions before giving up on BB. I know that none of these other forums could be as good as crackberry. I just need to see what android can offer.

Thanks much.

The best I believe is xda-developers.com
It is not android generic but focused on particular smartphones, mostly Android, but also old WinMo and Windows Phone.

  • Android Central is good which you've stated you've already found, and has a large group of very helpful people. The userbase tends to be more mature than other forums (relatively speaking). It is also associated with Crackberry as they're both a part of Mobile Nations. Ask a question, and you'll more than likely get a helpful response. [edit]Guess I should point out that the staff at Android Central are top notch. There are few forums who's staff and moderators are as effective.
  • Android Forums has a huge very very active userbase, but maturity level isn't the greatest. You will get a lot of information from them and quickly, but be prepared to put up with, and sift through, a lot of heated insults, arguments and debates. Moderation isn't the most effective I've seen. A great resource when you need help.
  • XDA has tons of information, but is a disorganized mess and isn't really very accommodating to new users asking questions. There's a lot to be found, but it helps if you know exactly what you're searching for. I tend to just lurk there and rarely find it worth my time to post.

androidforums.com for the best overall experience from noob to more advanced knowledge.

androidcentral.com is good for be new to the scene and like stated a little more mature.

XDA is great for advanced things mostly involving rooting and roms and such but the attitude has soured over there within the last year so i dont post as much over there but browse and lurk mostly.

rootzwiki.com and teambamf.net are also very good once you have got your feet settled decently and are looking for more of a dev side.
