Blackberry Vs Android

Android vs Blackberry?
Ok so I have to decide soon if I want to buy back an Android phone or wait for the new Blackberry Bold 9700 (3G). I had the G1 Google for about a year and I loved it. I just recently lost and so I am using my brothers old Blackberry and I can see why people like them. Blackberry Messenger 5 is much better than AIM. But seeing as though Google is moving really fast with the new "Enhanced Google Maps and the voice mail you can read in text form is making me want to relapse for Android. Id appreciate an un-biased opinion and suggestion, please. Thank you.
I feel I can give opinions unbiased since I own many Blackberries, a Nokia with Symbian OS, some older WinMo 5.0 and 6.0 phones, iPhone 3G, iPhone and 3GS. I think it really depends on what you or in your phone. The new building Eclair Google is coming out seems solid. The DROID Motorola will run Android 2.0 Eclair and out on November 6 Verizon I believe. GSM versions follow at some point I assume. HTC Hero is supposed to be in the process of being collided with Eclair. You can get an online version of GSM. I have not done much research to see if the hero will make it to a GSM operator in the U.S.. BlackBerry 9700 runs on Mac OS 5.0, which is supposed to handle multimedia better and has better battery life Bold on the job. I can tell you the differences in OS builds are usually minimal RIM. They always have battery life strong and solid performance business use. However, I have always found the Blackberry OS missing the multimedia arena (handling mp3 ok for a supporting actor, the camera is sufficient for my needs) and the browser (while being worked on by RIM) is terribly outdated. However, even with the falls in the browser and multimedia I find the device arena much larger than anything in the e-mail and messages. If you use the phone as a phone first and not look at it as a phone all-in-one/multimedia get the BB. If you send e-mails get a BB too. If you want to surf the net in the BB I think you will not be so happy. Again, RIM is supposed be working on building a replacement for your current browser, but that could be far, far away. I'm using the iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 (jailbroken and unlocked of course) as my primary phone, due to the product. I do not promote it much since you are looking for BB and Android, but I will say it is the first phone with a few adjustments and jailbroken apps that really does everything I need. You do not get used to write about it. Unrelated to your question I can tell you is the Symbian OS decent, old WinMo were terrible IMO (children seem to have improved a lot). In the end, get what you want your phone to make the most of the time. If you can survive internet without getting a great BB, if you need or music you may want to go back to the Android! But wait for the new hardware Eclair! It's just around the corner. For me (and the fact that I have the Bold on) I'm inclined to try out a new Android GSM piece of hardware in the near future, instead of upgrading from the Bold for the Bold 2 (9700):) Hope this helps and good luck!
