Thanks to Google, I got an Android phone for Christmas. Since then, I have been in love with it. Love the availability of a full keyboard (rather than on screen touch-type madness) and all the apps you can download.
Compared to my Blackberry Curve, the plusses are many. The top one is the full browser. I can browse anything on the web and see the pages properly (I know this is already available on iPhone; but iPhone keyboard/typing sucks). However, here are the few important things that the current Android phone is lacking which still makes me stick to my Blackberry:
- Battery life: In my experience, the battery only lasts about 24 hours. It is a pain to plug it in all the time.
- Compactness: The phone is still a bit bulky. So far, nothing matches Blackberry Curve's compactness.
- Keyboard: Although, Android phone has a full keyboard, the keys have the same height as the rest of the phone. So, one cannot really feel the keys and the separation among them. I think the Blackberry keyboard style, with keys sticking out, is still better.
I cannot wait to see and own a second generation Android phone.
