I admit it, I was totally sucked into the marketing fervor surrounding the Android. Any good marketer would be, though, right? I suppose it wasn’t total hype. The “droid” has super cool touch screen technology and is geared to run all the “must have” apps.

I think the app that lets you scan the bar code on an item and then shows you how much it costs online and at other retailers in your area is pretty slick. However, am I really going to run across town to save 47 cents on some laundry detergent…no. Or am I going to run home and order those 10lb dumb bells on line for five dollars less…no, I need them now and I’m sure the shipping on 20 pounds will surpass my five dollar savings. And that pretty much sums up my 5 weeks with the Android…lots of bells and whistles but not too useful.

So, I am back to my blackberry.

It captures every email with lightning speed, has a normal, non-touch screen keyboard, allows me to text with ease and dials and answers phone calls just like you’d expect. And guess what… with my Blackberry Curve 8530, I can even get those treasured apps!

I’d love to hear about your experiences with the Android, Blackberry, iPhone. Got an opinion, share it here.
