If you're being honest, you have to agree with this article.

Now i love my 8900 and i'll be getting the 9700 the day it comes to T-Mobile or shortly there after.
But RIM's OS and the applications list are falling behind. If you look at what all the 'droid system can do, and all of the free development software it really makes me kinda sad. the GPS applications, the IM client applications, the ability to create your own.... it's just sad.... but hey RIM is RIM and they know what is best for RIM.
It's all about the software. I'm probably going Droid, and Lord knows it isn't a hardware decision -- a bit too large, a dodgy camera, no GSM support and styling that jumps straight out of an early John Hughes movie. But you get to the software, and you have from RIM an IMAP read-sync bug that still isn't fixed, a browser from the dark ages, in the case of the Storm2 haptic feedback that can't be adjusted down, and again while we're on the Storm2's case a keyboard that does not flash each letter as you type in the conventional touch-screen manner.
RIM has long counted on their hardware and their services. But software is now at a minimum the third leg of the stool.
