i want to go back to blackberry from android but scared?
- One problem BB users have is that they get over creative with their phones. We download beta versions, we supercharge our convenience keys and use macros. Frankly, if you want a BlackBerry phone you should get one. If you don't do anything crazy you should have no problems.
Remember, there is always the 30 day return policy. I think you will be happy because I am. I left BlackBerry from a Tour for the HTC Evo 4G and came back for the Torch1. It was good enough to bring me back but with the OS7 devices I can say I love my phone more than any other out there today and I'm glad to be back.
Everything seems more efficient and rational on my BlackBerry in my view. It is just a better phone for me. Don't let perfect be the enemy of great.11-09-11 12:32 PMLike 0 - Isn't it funny how we all love our phones for different reasons yet some of us love the different phones for the same reasons. While pkcable says his 9930 is the best of both worlds (physical keyboard/touchscreen), I recommend the 9810 for the same reasons...(his keyboard may be better but I have him beat on touchscreen!)
The truth of the matter is that some have had issues with the 9900/30, by and large most people do not. OP, Just give it a try...if the one you pick doesn't work for you, decide it in 30 days and then go for the other one you wanted.11-09-11 01:52 PMLike 0 -
Still, the BB OS7 phone issues, particularly the bricking one, so far as I know have not been narrowed down to hardware or software. So I was kind of lumping the hardware and OS into meaning "the whole phone".11-09-11 03:40 PMLike 0 -

- It's a great combination. I stream live tv, bridged, on it while using bbm or texting. No issues or delays. I also like using it to play music while I play on the Playbook. Either way it's smooth and solid.11-09-11 06:54 PMLike 0

What I don't understand is "Having it be a BB is the bonus". BBs are decent messaging and phone devices but dropping the physical keyboard removes a large part of that advantage. You are left with a blinking message LED and possibly BES and BBM support (depending on your needs these may be irrelevant). On the negative side of the column you have BIS, outages and very little app support.11-09-11 09:16 PMLike 0 -
Well, the developers beta can run some Android apps and there are limitations. Actual finished Android support ready for use by the public is not due until February.

I'm ditching my Storm 1 finally, BBOS 5.0 is soo bad and I don't like the small screen on the bold. I'll wait for the BBX phones and see what they are like.11-09-11 09:49 PMLike 0 - If screen size is the first priority, Android is available on phones with ridiculously large screens and the iPhone screen is 3.5 inches.

- Wow first guess, very good. Only problem is I didn't have any apps downloaded to the phone. The only apps that were on it were the ones it came with and they couldn't be deleted. I did figure it out though. It had something to do with the sim software. I could boot the device fine without a sim card but no matter how many different sim cards I tried the result was the same. It's really too bad because without that Android was neat.11-10-11 07:21 PMLike 0

- I went to android, phone was great as novelty at first with all the apps and the large 4" display(htc sensation) but when it came to the crunch, battery time and practicality weren't android/htc's strong point, so I came back to blackberry. Love the new os and battery is amazing. I'm a huge bb fan so take into account my opinion is biased.
