on a related note (and, yes, i will be using the technical expertise
on this list as much as possible), a friend of mine who has had a
blackberry for years is considering a switch to an android phone.
technical issues aside, what is the experience of people who have
made this switch that you know of? folks used to the physical
blackberry keyboard may find it really tough to adjust (unless, of
course, the android phone comes with an actual keyboard).
so while i would normally recommend an android phone without
reservation, i understand that, in the end, it's the user experience
that matters, and if people with a blackberry history end up unhappy
with something else, i don't want to recommend switching.
thoughts?
