OK Guys,
If you switched to an EVO from a Blackberry - can you post here - with the Blackberry Model, and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, of switching?
Was using a BB Tour. My buddy got an Incredible & after I saw its possibilities I upgraded to a Hero with Sprint. Moving contacts, calendar and info over was a breeze! I installed Google Sync which took care of my contacts & calendar as soon as I booted the Hero. Use Catch notes to sync my notes..on the BB synced my notes with Outlook from outlook I pasted into the online version for Catch and notes instantly appeared on my device. Gmail for email syncs itself.
Google Sync (contacts & calendar) have to be done before you turn off the BB!
Its a night and day difference between OS's.
Android based on linux is as smooth if not better than BB was. There are so many apps and the phone is more customizable. I am running CM6 2.2 Froyo which replaced 2.1 Sense and could not be happier. Being able to move apps to the sd card in the settings menu saves a ton of space. More stable kernals with battery tweaks. Battery life is roughly 12 hours of heavy use & 24+ with moderate use, the non Sprint kernals rock!
Phone has wifi tether, free! Camping or in the woods I can leave the cell phone in the vehicle receiving cell signal off a Wilson booster turn on wifi and able to do homework and submit assignments 30' away from my vehicle in the middle of no where. Bluetooth allows me phone calls.
There is so much more Android does, you choose how far you want to take it.
Apps, BB apps have to be approved by RIM. Android apps are in the market after a quick Google overview.
For my business would I choose Blackberry or Android for my employees..#1 Android **WINNER**
Would I go back to BB.. NO
BB works very well and will continue to serve the people who choose it. I now choose Android.
Android is a learning curve coming from BB. Figuring out how it works and the simple things to keep my phone running smooth with great battery life has been a huge help!
