Reasons I'm heading back to a Blackberry:
- The Vibrant battery life flat out sucks. Even shutting down battery intensive tasks doesn't give me a full day. This is a deal killer.


Agreed that I do miss the battery life of my Curve, but I do use my Android more than I used my Curve so that might be the reason why. There are some tips on the forum for improving battery life if you look.


- While typing on the touch screen is a breeze, I spend half the day cleaning the screen. A real smear magnet.

I haven't used my Vibrant without a screen protector but I installed the Realook first and agree, it was a magnet for fingerprints (can't compare it to a naked screen though), took off the Realook because of problems I had with it and installed a Steinheil Crystal Clear protector and some fingerprints still show but nowhere near as much as Realook.

- Mail on the Android is nowhere near prime time. K9 sucks as well. I don't care what anyone says, mail on Android can't hold a candle to RIM.

- On the other hand, browsing the web on a BB can't hold a candle to Android. Mail is far more important for me.

No idea as I just sync Gmail and it works fine for me.

- Syncing with Outlook is a bigger pain than it is worth.

Don't use outlook so I have no idea.


- Google Calendar is a joke. A high school programming project gone bad.

I actually just started messing with Google Calendar today (syncing with my phone) and it seems ok, I'm sure there are better programs on the market to suit your needs though.
