Best Android Phone For A Blackberry User? by NOIBMUUL(m): 7:18am On May 30, 2012 |
Considering An Android Phone. Any Recommendations? Hello guys, I've been a blackberry person for a while now and I'm thinking of getting an android phone at least to compliment the bb. Did a bit of research and narrowed down to the Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003) that is having considered cost, phone functions and of course, the sleekness. So what do you guys suggest? Any recommendations? Thanks |

You'd have to lay down a price range so you can get good tailored advice. E.g The Galaxy S3 and One X are meant to be the current Kings in the arena with prices at about say #124K more or less. So also other mid ranged models like HTC Sensation, Galaxy S2... |

Get the Nokia N9 16gb or 64gb... It runs the Meego OS But you can hack it to get a dual boot of either Meego or Android ICS. I have an N9 64gb and will be hacking my this weekend. |

Get the Samsung 3 Here's a review of the phone T]he Galaxy S III is a technological triumph. Not at first sight, perhaps, but Samsung has done the overwhelming majority of things right. The camera is easily the best I’ve used on an Android device, the processor claims the title of benchmarking champion, and the customizations layered on top of Ice Cream Sandwich are mostly unobtrusive and sometimes even helpful. They never really gel into one coherent user experience, meaning you’ll have to learn what each new feature does individually rather than intuiting it from the phone’s general behavior, however that’s a trifling complaint when compared to our usual disappointments with Android OEM skins... "The extra-large size of this phone, even with its great ergonomics, may prove to be a stumbling block for those who can’t comfortably fit a 4.8-inch handset into their daily routine. S[b]till, the popularity of the Galaxy Note has shown that phone buyers are willing to look to more exotic form factors in their pursuit of novelty and extra functionality — and the Galaxy S III suffers no shortage of either. The New Galaxy S III is also very compatible with Blackberry. A huge plus for Blackberry Users who need not wash their hands or wear gloves before/After using the Android.[/b] Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/galaxy-s-iii-international-version-review-roundup-2012-5#ixzz1wMcn4wKL |

Sisi_Kill: What do you mean "for a blackberry user"? At bolded, yes actually there are lots. For instance, the addiction to BBM that makes people chat while walking, driving, eating and defecating. |

After 4years of consistent blackberry and Nokia use, I picked up my first Android OS phone last week. My choice The new Samsung Galaxy Ypro duo. Asides the unique features of touch-type and dual SIM functions, my rational for the pick was getting anywhere close to the QWERTY keys I almost can't do without (result of consistent BB use) Interface is different, however unique. But it stands clear as much better in certain ways. From speed, to apps and the ever absence of hanging/freezing, one can't wonder why samsung is the second globally purchased phone and fasted growing mobile market today 1 Like |

well am a blackberry+android user, am using bold 9790+samsung galaxyS. i use the android mostly for multimedia purpose especially video when am travelling. but i really wudnt recommend android device especially those of lower OS than ICS (i.e android 4.x) cos the are all not very efficient at managing resources especially battery life which is very significant when u use them for data purposes and also not that gud luking GUI-wise. personally, i wanna switch to windows phone devices but since ur concerned about cost, i wud recommend the nokia 603. its priced at 35k while the galaxy s is around 48k. plus its got a comparable spec to the galaxy s. the only difference being the storage capacity as the galaxy s comes with 8gb inbuilt but 5.7gb user accessibility. i hope this information helps. |

NOIBMUUL: @pakavy Try galaxy ace, Sony Ericsson xperia arc, htc desire, optimus black, galaxy s. Xperia and optimus black can be upgraded to ics. Others with some rooting and tweaking could get ics working. Good luck |

The Samsung Mail apps makes alot of sense too while am also enjoying Skype, Google+, GTalk on the smartphone. My BB is now only for pinging and downloading. |

@poster for your budget I'd suggest you go for sonyericsson xperia neo v. It comes with android 2.3 which can be up-graded to 4.0. Am so loving this phone right now. Sonyericsson make a lot of quality even if under-stated phones. |

bibe: well am a blackberry+android user, am using bold 9790+samsung galaxyS. i use the android mostly for multimedia purpose especially video when am travelling. i beg to differ on you above point about android less than ICS not being good looking. I suppose you haven't come across much except the one u use. Else, can you tell me how ugly sony ericsson xperia range (pro, ray, arc etc) are gui-wise. They all run gingerbread and froyo in some cases yet there gui are slick and don't even get me talking about the HTC brands. |

After using the blackberry for a while I experienced a rush on picking the Htc 4G Evo android and since then, I haven't gone back to blackberry. Also the Samsung Galaxy tab is really fly. Ideal android is the Htc 4G Evo. |
