Ran across an article on Phonedog about some screenshots for BBM on Android. I've never used it because I've never owned a BlackBerry, but for those who have used it, is the hype enough to continue using it on Android?

I am all over BBM when it comes out!!!
It's the only thing about Blackberry I miss!!!

I dont understand why it is such a big deal. That being said I have never used it. But isnt it just a blackbery text messaging service?

If you weren't an old school blackberry person its hard to describe the fascination with it.
It is by far the most reliable IM tool in use today. There are many folks that have abandoned their Blackberries in recent years as Berry was slow to adapt to the changing smart phone landscape but ask any former berry user what they miss most about their berry and undoubtedly the vast majority will say its BBM.

BBM was the one thing I held on to my blackberry for so I will try it. The problem is getting all of my friends that didn't have blackberry to download it,especially seeing that there aww so many apps now with the same functionality

I just saw it in the Telemundo Noticias, the new iPad 2 from Apple and they didn't mentioned nothing interesting other than it's thinner.
But !
Edit:
They showed a tab running Gingerbread...
They're stupid they should have shown in the preview the current iPad, not one with Android :/
I think they can release one with Mac OS X, but that they can doesn't mean they should....
They want people to get high-tech little by little so their win extends. If you know what I mean....

The iPad 2 is running iOS 4.3
Comes in black and white
Other then being thinner and having 2 cameras its the same thing.
What made me rage was how Steve was bragging how the App store has 65,000 apps, and the Honeycomb has only 100. Um, hello, iPad is out for over a year, the Xoom isn't even out yet...I think. If it is, only a few days.

Naa, I've said it already the note was that they talked about the upcomming iPad 2, that it was gonna be mad thinner than the first, I thought that it was it what they were showing, because I haven't seen much about tabs so you should understand I was cofused.

So many think that Google copied things from Apple to create the Android platform. Well iPhone users can be happy that it happens all the time.
Apple copies a bunch of features from Android, calls it iOS5
Just goes to show you that there are no new ideas, the best ones are stolen from your competitors!

Hi guys, I'm considering to replace my old trusted HTC desire with an iPhone 4s. Will I miss my android? Anyone make a similar jump?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
The simplest answer is, yes.
I don't know, but I can guarantee Android won't miss you.
How so? Well maybe I will miss the widget feature but other than that I think iPhone kinda do a pretty good job IMHO.

No need to flame guys, it's just a simple question.
Now to the OP, try IOS put, if you like it, keep it. If not, you care slate trade the 4S for an android device. Once it comes down to it, it's all preference.

I went from being an iPhone user (iPhone3GS then an iPhone4) to android and would never go back. There isn't much you can do on an iPhone in was of customization without jailbreaking, and a jailbroke ios4.0 was very unstable for me with horrible battery life. Not to sure about a jailbroke ios5 since I bailed before it was released, although my wife now has the iPhone4 with ios5 (stock) and it is fast, so I'm sure the 4s would be snappy as ever with the improved processor. I like optons, so for me android is a better experience.

You will by default miss something about android. That's just natural. Will that thing be enough to make you regret your purchase? Only you can answer that. Hell I miss some things about WebOS on my Touch pad. But will I go back? Nah B-)

i don't really get why you'd want to go the iphone route unless you're feeling a little retro today.
the main reason iphone users dont switch (from my observations) was the money spent on apps, but i've never heard of android users switching to an iphone unless it was an entry-level phone (ie: optimus one, galaxy gio)
edit:
if you're bored with your phone, you can try a different manufacturer like samsung, moto or maybe go stock with a gnex. it'll be a completely new experience.

The biggest thing for me that keeps me away from ios other than it being closed and no customization is the lack of a dedicated back button. I think its a huge thing to leave out and makes things like opening links in one app that brings up another very disorienting. I think its a huge flaw in the design of the OS. The one home button is incredibly inconvenient and clunky.

That's why I said 'it depends,' and followed it with a smiley. Some people would miss the money they spent in the market/app store. Others will only care about ideology or the OS.
i switched to iphone4 for about two weeks and oh hell no lol i couldnt get back to android fast enough, but i like the roms and just the hacking in general for android
My friend did that... switched from android and now whenever I flaunt my android the look on his face is hilarious...

The iPhone 5 is nice. Especially the camera. I would get one but I cannot afford it. I would get the iPhone over the One S, better hardware and the new iOS update should be pretty remarkable with Johnny Ive handling it.
