Thank you to everyone who remembered that i made this thread to tell everyone that i have moved to android from blackberry.
Now my opinions....
Battery Life - I have had NO issues with battery life. I use my android alot more than i ever used my BB. When i get home at night, yes...my BB would of had more battery left. Look at my example though...
EX. Blackberry 40% left
Android 30% left
Not much difference to care about. Plus you don't have to make sure you close the apps when your done with them. (BTW android users, You don't need an app killer if you have OS 2.2 ;) )
Available Apps - I don't know how this next statement can even be an opinion but here it goes. Blackberry doesn't have 1/4th the apps android does. Not even close. Plus on android, any app you really need/want is free. I don't know about any of you but in my opinion, you just cant beat free lol.
Convenience - As far as opening apps, going screen to screen, keyboard, or what have you. Access to anything is much much quicker on android. The on screen keyboard (the android i have) is very easy to use and i adjusted quickly to it. Swype is great and very useful.
E-Mail - Ok so one advantage to having a blackberry is the almost instant email syncing. Now here's my question to those who worry about getting email very quickly (cause android takes every 5 mins)....If someone needs to get ahold of you instantly cause its really important or whatever...why wouldn't they just call you? Just a thought.
To Qbnkelt, So whoever you were working with may have had an outdated android or whatever. I can not judge any other android device except my own, i can only assume that they are all pretty similar. Now as far as business tool, I would like to know what you mean. If your talking apps, then i promise you that android will have every app that blackberry has, plus you'll find apps that you could use that you didn't know existed. If you haven't used an android before, i suggest you go to your provider and get one, from there try it within the first 30 days and if you don't think it blows Blackberry away, then take it back to your provider and say it's not what you wanted (my provider allows this).
I believe i read a couple posts asking me which android i got, i now am the proud owner of the Optimus S. The fact that this is a "lower end" android and it's this amazing, i can't wait until i can upgrade to the "higher end" android.
Since there was so many posts on here, i will be checking back regularly. If there's anymore question or i any questions i missed, just let me know.
Also thanks to the moderator who invited me to comeback and chit chat with everyone still. :)
Thanks and have a good day. :)
although its a low end device its still a great device! i have the evo shift and im in love...what launcher are you using? so i can expect to see your themes for it!!! lol
