I can totally see the love for Android by its users. My mouth was watering on the sheer gadget value of the device.
One thing I noticed was that it took a 1.5Ghz dual core Android to match the scrolling and flicking of the 9900.
Would I leave my BLackberry? NO. The phone dialling, notifications, etc were nowhere near the BB. The BB gets things done quickly and in a no-nonsense manner.
It takes a couple of taps to dial a number.
Android is like a woman, it takes lot of rubbing to get it working . Blackberry is like a guy, press a button and its good for action.
Do I want to buy the Droid Razr as a second device ..YESSS....
Will I leave my BB 9900, not a chance in he!!.
Long story, but I must admit that as a confessed BB fanboy, I get the Android and the fan following. The iPhone not so much.
Answer:
Believe me, Androids can be customized to be just as fast and efficient (and even more so) than BB's for most functions. Trying a phone in the store is just the tip of the iceberg, as once you really sit down and explore the phone, you'll see it's much more than just a good looking "gaming" device.
I'm not here to try to "promote" or to "sway" people..because I could honestly care less. BB's are great at some things, and Androids and iPhones others. It's completely preference. I LOVE to customize and tweak my phone. This started with BB's and some of the customization I could do on it, but ultimately it wasn't enough, and I wanted even more things to play with.
But trust me when I say, I can bring up the phone launcher in one "tap", and can also direct dial anyone I have set up with on "tap". No multiple swipes or taps needed..and I can set this up from any Android..not just specific ones.
