Im just curious as too how many people are still using BB.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Blackberry 8900 here running 5.0. I don't use my phone for much besides e-mail, texting, music, and YA KNOW as a phone. I will eventually get an Android device but I can't say I'm in a hurry. Blackberry does everything I need it to really and it does it all pretty decently.
Also if you ever HAVE to web browse, Bolt > Opera in pretty much every way. Can't stand browsing the web on ANY phone personally so it's only used for "emergencies".
If you are happy with your BB now, it can be a disappointing switch (though I am sure some people are happy with it). Good friend of mine went from a BB to a Droid recently. He paid the AT&T ETF and everything to jump ship. He was happy as a clam for a few weeks, downloaded tons of Android apps, was doing all sorts of stuff he could not do with the BB and showing it off. Now after having the Droid for a couple months, the "new toy" feeling has worn off. He is going to switch back to a BB because the Droid is not as good for texting/email and using as an actual phone.
i guess we'll see. When i got my tour last year, she wasnt too impressed with it, not worth spending $200 for the upgrade from the 8330. The only reason she got it is because her screen broke and it was past upgrade time. So if she falls in love with it, then she has to wait til december.She'll change her tune once she sees all the magic you can produce from Android. Happened in my house, the woman seriously wants her own Droid now that I've been wowing her with mine.
I think it's funny reading everyone's posts about how they still have their old, worn-out, blackberry, and they can't wait until their shiny new Android/iPhone arrives.
In my opinion, coming from a Storm-Curve-iPhone-Nexus One-Bold 9700(in order), you'll all be back to the Blackberry or something with an external keyboard a few months after the switch. Until the iPhone can multi-task, there is absolutely no touch screen on the market that has the usability and reliability of a Blackberry. The mere mention of touch sensitive buttons, dual cancelling microphones, and AMOLED screens are going to make you cringe in about 3 months. You obviously have to figure it out for yourself, but in my experience, the iPhone is the only touchscreen that is actually enjoyable to use as a texing/emailing device and a phone. But until OS4 brings us background tasks, I'll keep my Bold any day.
Still rocking a 8330 on Sprint as well.
... at least until tomorrow, when my Incredible gets here.
The 8330 is a good solid phone that's survived two liquid submersions and innumerable knocks and drops, but for me, its time has come.
