That is so true. The best phone is without a doubt based on your personal use and what you need in a phone.
I have a good friend that went to Android. Based on his own words He don't play games with his phone, he don't browser very often on it. All he does is SMS, Phone calls and emails. Basically nothing but communications.
Well since he has went to Android, He lost his keyboard, the great battery life, BBM which he used constantly as several of his family members have it, Lost berry Buzz which was his favorite app and he himself says email sucks on Android.
Now several times a day he sends and receives the same SMS multiple times. Some times he will text me and I will get 4 or 5 copies of the same message. More than once he has sent me text messages meant for someone other than me. And now he carries a charger with him every where he goes because his phone drains battery life rapidly even when he hasn't touched it since it got unplugged.
All of those things he admits too and complains about. But he loves Android and would never come back to a BlackBerry he says. Even though he would be better off. He fell for the hype, lost all of the features he actually used on his phone to gain a bunch of crap he only uses when he wants to show someone how cool his Android is. He knows his own personal needs were better met with his old BlackBerry Bold and he has admitted that to me. But he don't want to look like a fool to all of his friends by going back to BlackBerry after trashing it.
He just keeps on telling everyone "Android FTW!!!"

Maybe he doesnt like the shape, lol. For me, my main things are email and text. But, after this stint (that im still on) with BB, I have realized that i dont like it as much as i thought. Just preferenceThat is so true. The best phone is without a doubt based on your personal use and what you need in a phone.

Plus I actually love the design of the phones they are stylish and the OS is top notch. I also like the fact that RIM seems to care about their devices and makes sure to put out a quality product. They only make a few devices and best of all they support those devices years later. Similar to apple, they are a company making their own hardware and OS and supporting those products after they hit the market. That is good customer care. Andriod fails miserably with that...I forced Sprint to take back the Samsung Epic 4G because the update to a newer version of andriod that was promised to me never came, month after month...so they gave me another phone the HTC EVO Shift and that was better with a newer OS but still left me wanting. Bottom line I think Apple makes a good Ipod for music some apps and silly goofy games, andriod has a flash capable browser and some decent apps but they really need to get control of their OS and not ***** it out to manufacturer out there plus the OS needs alot of maturing to do. Apple and Andriod still feel like they are kids stuff...Blackberry is a professional grade mature Hardware and software hands down the best communication device...and overall well rounded great phone!That is so true.
