Having come due for my free upgrade I swapped my Blackberry Curve in for a new one. I then returned it just before the 30 day limit and opted to swap to an Android2.
To me BlackBerry went in the wrong direction, reducing the number of apps you can have on the home screen, my Android on the other hand is extremely flexible and it provides multiple (easily accessed) screens.
Naturally it takes a day to get all your apps in line, e-mail accounts set up, and the look and feel that works best for you. As I like access to multiple e-mail accounts, configuring this was at the top of my list. Android allows you to place a notification area and define what accounts are linked to it, one email, two email, email and text; add all to one or create a separate spot for each.
An unexpected plus was discovering the SmrtGuard app, which provides for remote wiping if your phone is lost.

The only thing I think they could streamline a bit is the adding of items to a screen, to do this you have to sort through whether you want to add a shortcut, a Motorola Widget, or an Android Widget; I should not have to think that hard, why can't they be in one place?
In the end I am happy I made the move. From what I have read the New BlackBerry OS, while more flexible, is still playing catch-up.
