I have been using blackberry for years. Almost an year back i shifted to androids due to the poor Blackberry OS. Most of the people around me were already using androids. The only thing that i missed was the Blackberry's QWERTY keyboard which will give me a solid feeling while typing. The taping on touch screens never generated that feeling. However , i got adjusted to it after buying a tablet. One connect a manual bluetooth keyboard with it or one can use a split thumb keyboard which makes typing alot easier on touch screens.
