I was in the same boat. I thought about what phone I really wanted and after having the iPhone 4 I wanted something with exceptional build quality. As much as I like the idea of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, the hardware is outdated and they all feel so cheap. Same thing goes for Android actually. Plus after using an iPhone for the past 3 years I've been spoiled by the GPU accelerated OS.
Using any of these Android phones reminds me of my old HTC S621/T-Mobile Dash:
You can customize the **** out of it, overclock it, tweak the UI run emulators on it and all that stuff, but at the end of the day it's a clunky operating system that performs like garbage due to the lack of GPU-Assist/Liquid Graphics.
This is my first BlackBerry.
I've had the 8700g for a bit but no BIS account so I loved the idea of it, but without having BIS you can only play so much BrickBreaker before you get bored. I wanted the Bold 9000 but I couldn't wait for RIM's late (in comparison to the iPhone) release date.
Long story short (i tried...honest), I'm pleased with my choice to go with RIM. The Rogers reps thought I was bat**** crazy but forget em.
RIM will be around to stay. 38% marketplace says it all.
09-20-11 09:46 PM - My big debate was between the Torch 9860 and the Bold 9900. I had them both in my hand. The Torch was beautiful, nice big screen, a god virtual keyboard, well balanced and ergonomic. But the Bold...with the stainless steel bezel and that keyboard!!! I had to have it. My previous favorite phone was the Bold 9000 and this new one just blew it away.I was in the same boat.

As for my Rogers people, everyone in the store had a BB so I fit right in...when I left with one.
09-21-11 06:33 AM - OK..... My LONG LONG wait is over! Yesterday I picked up my 9930 and I have to say one word............... AWESOME! All that I have read - all the reviews - all the video's....... they don't even give it justice..... I have never owned a BB before - and it is a HUGE change from what I have been using - in a GREAT way! I haven't even scratched the surface with this phone and will probably spend the next week burning out the battery learning!

Did notice autotext "sig" didn't work even though I had completed the Personal info, so I just typed in my signature.
Would like to be able to create folders in Favorite pane or make a Folder elsewhere a favoite?
09-24-11 08:27 AM - Go to Words Substitution under Options and create a new sub word called "sig" and now enter what ever you like. You can make whatever you like... for example, I have usig for all my university signatures and I have esig for emails and I have tsig for any text that need to send with my name.Great, fast phone - sound quality better and only problem is my learning curve of OS7.
