I’ve been a BB person the last 4 years. I bought the G2 and returned and am now back to my 8900.

I hated that there was no unified inbox! What is up with that! Also the LED indicator was terrible.

BB got it right with the large LED. BerryBuzz is a huge selling point for me – a different LED blink for work email, personal email, facebook, BBM, etc…. I am a computer programmer for a living and actually might program that for Android if someone doesn’t come out with it in the next few months – it’s such a pain having to turn on the screen and check!

As for the unified inbox – what is so hard about putting Facebook, MMS, SMS, emails, all in one place on android? The notification bar is just not the same.

Maybe I am old fashioned, but this “there’s an app for that” philosophy is so inconvenient!

My roommate just got a Vibrant. It’s awesome. I have a Blackberry. I’m still not totally won over by Android or by total touch screen phones. I like my Berry for four reasons:
1) the ability to type messages quickly and on occasion with one hand (sometimes without looking;
2) I’m comfortable knowing that all data I send and receive is encrypted and sent through BB servers;
3) Flawless email, text, and chat messaging integration
4) support for UMA calling

Even though I really like the Vibrant, it fails with the 4 features that I need in a phone. I love the whole touch and swipe that Android and Iphone offer, but I have found that touch/swipe is actually slower for business use than using the traditional form factor of Blackberries. I’m not talking about processing speed, I’m talking about the ability to quickly interact between email, text messages, instant messages, browser, address book, and the phone function for making calls. I conduct business on the go and my BB allows me to take info from email or instant messages, paste it into my browser and run a search, copy the contents and place it back in my instant message, then entering that info into the address book when necessary, and then placing a call to the number retrieved from the search. I can then continue to instant message while on the phone. This is effortless on my BB but a complete nightmare to accomplish on Android because it’s impossible to move around that quickly with touch/swipe. The 9800 Torch offers the best of both worlds: large screen with touch/swipe for fun stuff like games & multimedia; slide-out qwerty keyboard for business use. If TMO doesn’t get the Torch, then it looks like the 9780 will be the next best thing.

Kind of an in-between device (maybe until AT&T Torch exclusive is up(does anyone know how long it is for?) running OS6, which is an big improvement over OS5..might tide you over if buying a Torch and unlocking it is too rich for the wallet…I like it, going to check out my options when it gets here and the prices for the Torch at different retailers come out.

blackberry is like what you said, reliable.

but boring, uninspired, ugly. Android just kinda cast this huge shadow on bb, and i dunno if it can get out of it.

Looks like a nice upgrade to the 9700, but nothing earth shattering. I had the 9700 & I really loved the phone, but it just got to be too slow & the small screen was killing me. I got the Samsung Vibrant & absolutely love it. Now if only they’d get the GPS situation figured out it would be perfect. That being said, I do miss my blackberry for some things. Of course I miss BBM. I’m thinking about getting a used bb pearl flip for a “playtime” phone.

Notice at the 2:29 mark, the text message says thank you for purchasing from T-Mobile..etc

Its only up for a second, but go check. Not that I care really, but its there.
