Bridging the gap between Blackberry users and Android/IOS users
Hey y'all. I had an idea. I really dislike reading around Crackberry and seeing people bashing the Android/IOS platform and/or their users. I dislike seeing people calling these devices "toys" and say that there's no way to be productive on these devices. I see misinformation slung to and fro about poor battery life, force closes, etc because people may have tried an Android device in the past, but have no idea of the functionality of current devices. Or worse, people who bash Android/IOS haven't even used these devices and are just going by word of mouth! Having used both BB and Android as my daily drivers, and currently using a BB as a secondary device, I can say that if one uses it correctly, Android can be just as functional as BB, if not moreso.
If possible without turning this into yet another BB vs Android/IOS thread, I'd like to have an honest q&a session here. I'd like for BB owners to ask Android /IOS users how specific tasks they use every day on their BBs translates to Android/IOS. Like what the native email/calendar/word processing/etc app looks like, its functions, etc, questions about how multitasking works, apps, different keyboards, settings, etc. I'd like to see lots of screenshots shared (espeically because I'm not even that familiar with OS7 or IOS so I'd like to see how these OSs work as well).
The purpose of this thread should NOT be to convince BB users that one OS is "better" than the other. I'm HOPING that this thread will serve to EDUCATE people and in turn keep the BB vs Android vs IOS flamewars down to a minimum because people will finally be able to conceptualize how certain features work on the different OSs and not go by minimal hands-on time, word of mouth, stereotypes, etc.
Can this type of thread work without spiraling out of control, or am I being too optimistic?
