1. Great LED alerts, great notifications in general
2. Physical Keyboard, keyboard shortcuts
3. Ability to see screen in bright sunlight
4. Smaller device size
5. Bedside Mode

1) sunlight visible screen
2) radio strength/call quality
3) convenience keys ( though RIM has now removed the most important one anyway...bastages!)
4) I am OK with the Notifier LED on the TB, but BB does it better
5) media organization and options better on BB
I think that is about it!
BTW, I got the Gentle Alarm app and that does a great job of replacing Bedside Mode.  |

In all honesty, there is nothing I miss about blackberry so far. I'm not saying I would never go back to blackberry,it all depends what they come up with in the future

Awesome! Good replies so far! Thanks! Am I missing the grass because I think it's greener? And it is not?

After spending few days with it,without saying it isn't a good device,I realized just how awesome Android was. I gave it to one of my employees (I supply the phones) and just got myself the SGSII...no comparison! That's just me.

4. Smaller device size
5. Bedside Mode | 1. I can still see the alerts on my bionic--they just aren't as "laser" bright.
2. No physical KB on my Storm, so nothing lost there
3. Having a Bionic, I'm not missing the Storm's screen. The bionic is amazing in direct sunlight. In fact, i was just out sunning myself earlier and reading small text on the screen even without my reading glasses. I've seen the galaxy S2 and it's not nearly as readable in direct sunlight. Props for the pentile display!
4. smaller size=smaller screen. I like a large screen.
5. N/A for me.

The LED probably. My phone has one, but it's hard to see unless the room is dark or if I'm looking at the phone straight on.

Blackberry is for nostalgia, at this point, IMO

Browsing on my Bolt is amazing!
But Damn, this phone is heavy with the extended.
