Any Blackberry to Android converts out there?
That said, Android is constantly upgrading it's apps, and my complaint one week is usually resolved the next.
I use my phone primarily for personal use. I am currently job searching, but even when I was working it was my personal phone and I rarely used it for business. I think when I get closer to upgrade time I'll need to demo some of the different Droid phones that are available to see what their UI is like.
What kind of email are you using? Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, your own site's email, or company email?
Some people feel like the email just isn't the same on Android. I think it depends on your email type. I've used Gmail for a very long time. Gmail on Blackberry was super fast (like business email, usually). The first few months on Android, Gmail was about three to ten seconds slower (I had the benefit of having both a Blackberry and a Droid for a while). After Android started getting software updates, the Gmail on my Android has gotten faster.
Other free email types are usually a little slower. You can set your Android to check those email accounts faster...

I don't have corporate e-mail. I do have a gmail account but Yahoo is my primary e-mail.
I checked out the Droid Pro and it's pretty cool. I like the proportion of screen to keyboard. I like my curve but I could never figure out why RIM devotes about half the face of the phone to keyboard and only half to the display. I like that the Droid Pro has a larger display and yet the keyboard doesn't look scrunched. The keyboard actually looks alot like the Bold, even down to the sculpted keys. As far as the virtual keyboard, the original Storm is the only one I've ever tried. I demo'd one at a VZW store and found that I made alot of typos and mistakes. I've read that some of these keyboards actually ...

I once had the Samsung Saga:

Which was a just barely functional Windows phone that felt like a surfboard next to my head and on my side. And yet, the screen wasn't really that big.
One thing I've always shown people on the Storms is the comparison to the Curve/Tour/Bold models - when in portrait mode with the keyboard up, the screens are practically the same size. The Storm, however, has the landscape keyboard as well as the ability to be a full-screen, which is wholly unlike the other Blackberry models.
The Droid Pro looks, to me, like a good middle ground. Still sports a...

My biggest complaints are that I can't customize the alert tone for the calendar alarms and the facebook app sucks rocks. RIM's facebook implementation is way better then facebook's facebook implementation. Makes me sad, but not enough to go back to Blackberry.
My wife, on the other hand, tolerated her new Android for about 10 days then returned it and went back to her BB Tour.
I'm happy, she's happy. It's all good. Your experience is going to be different then either of ours.

Interesting... was it that the attachments took longer to download or to actually open up after download?
